Directions for Use
This instruction may be read if some of the claims and parties before the jury at the
beginning of the trial (see CACI No. 101, Overview of Trial) are no longer to be
resolved by the jury. The instruction then summarizes the claims and parties that
remain for the jury to resolve. The advisory committee recommends that this
instruction be read to the jury before reading instructions on the substantive law.
In the second part of the instruction that sets forth the remaining claims, include the
optional language if there are affirmative defenses that the jury will be asked to
determine.
