ORDER
The panel has voted to amend its opinion as follows: Delete from the second full paragraph of 873 F.2d 1274, the sentences reading: “While use of special verdicts pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 49(a) remains within the discretion of the district court, litigants have the responsibility to request or submit special verdict forms. See Landes Constr. Co.[, Inc. v. Royal Bank of Canada ] 833 F.2d [1365] at 1374[ (9th Cir.1987) ].” Replace them with: “Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 49(a) gives district courts wide discretion in the use of special verdicts; refusal of a special verdict form is therefore reviewed only for gross abuse. See Landes Constr. Co., 833 F.2d at 1374. Still, litigants have the responsibility to request or submit special verdict forms. Id.”
