MEMORANDUM *
John R. Daly, Jr. appeals the district court’s judgment and award of costs following a jury trial in Daly’s diversity action against Far Eastern Shipping Company and related companies (“FESCO”). The issues raised by Daly on appeal are subject to review under an abuse of discretion standard. See Gen. Signal Corp. v. MCI Telecomm. Corp., 66 F.3d 1500, 1507 (9th Cir.1995) (reviewing “issues related to the management of trial” for an abuse of discretion). We find no abuse of discretion and affirm the judgment and award of costs. Because the parties are familiar with the record, we recite only the facts necessary to explain our decision.
1. The district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing and enforcing time limits for the trial. See Amarel v. Connell, 102 F.3d 1494, 1513 (9th Cir.1997) (noting that courts have broad authority to impose reasonable time limits). The parties originally projected that the trial would take a total of seven days. After *479 both parties requested five days per side during the pretrial conference, the district court allowed each of the parties to have an extra half-day, for a total of eight days.
