Motion to Preclude Plaintiff from Offering his Trial Exhibits 

Defendant seeks to prevent Plaintiff from using “trial

exhibits not included in the defense exhibit list,” arguing

“[P]laintiff has failed to provide a copy of his exhibits [as required

by the Supplement to the Pretrial Order].” (Id. at 4.) Defendant

does not clearly specify what standard applies to the determination of

this motion. Therefore, the motion is denied.

Defendant moves under Federal Rules of Evidence 401, 402 and

403 for an order excluding any evidence on “the fictitious ‘Furious

Folsom Fifty.’” (Id. at 5.) Defendant has not provided enough

information regarding this matter for an in limine ruling; therefore,

this motion is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
