This statement is false. While the pretrial order does govern the future course of the case, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(e) explicitly allows for modification of a pretrial order to prevent manifest injustice. Modifications require a showing of good cause, ensuring that fairness and justice are prioritized over strict adherence to the initial order under certain circumstances.
