ORDER REGARDING

DEFENDANT’S MOTION

IN LIMINE NO. 2

After reviewing the documents submitted by counsel pertaining to defendant’s motion in

limine number two, the Court rules as follows:

1. The New York Life document entitled “Strength and Safety for Uncertain Times,

Annual Report 2007” will be admitted in part under FRE 807. The parts so admitted are: (i) from

the paragraph beginning on page NYLIM4522 starting with “More than a year before the credit

crisis emerged . . . ” through to the end of that column, (ii) the paragraph on page NYLIM4524

beginning with “Elected as a new director in 2007 . . . ,” and (iii) the special report by Gary

Wendlandt appended thereto on pages NYLIM4526–29 in its entirety. Possibly other rules of

evidence would permit these portions to be admitted as well.

2. For the same reasons, the New York Life document denoted “Plaintiff’s Exhibit

102,” which appears to be a deposition exhibit, entitled “New York Life Avoids the Risks, Clients

Reap the Rewards” will be admitted in its entirety under FRE 807. Again, possibly other rules of

evidence would permit this document to be admitted as well.

With respect to the remainder of materials, the Court is unclear why they would be

relevant or admissible. The parties shall ensure that these rulings are incorporated into the joint

summary of rulings on all the motions in limine addressed at today’s pretrial conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
