United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GARY RICHARD LAWMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN 

FRANCISCO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01202-DMR 

ORDER ON PLAINTIFF'S NINTH 

MOTION IN LIMINE

Re: Dkt. No. 140

The court has reviewed Plaintiff’s motion in limine no. 9 regarding defense expert Jeffrey 

A. Martin’s supplemental report and opinions, and Defendants’ opposition thereto. [Docket Nos. 

140, 170.] This matter is suitable for decision without a hearing. Civ. L.R. 7-1(b).

The court allowed Plaintiff to submit an untimely report by expert David Dusenbury. The 

court subsequently permitted Plaintiff to serve a supplemental Dusenbury report because

Defendants were late in producing certain documents relevant to Dusenbury’s opinions. [Docket 

No. 106.] The court did not authorize multiple supplemental reports, but Dusenbury nevertheless

supplemented his report three times. Martin filed a supplemental rebuttal report on May 12, 2016 

report, which was timely only as to Dusenbury’s May 2, 2016 supplemental report.

The court concludes that both parties contributed to the messy manner in which these 

expert reports were developed. The court will not strike Martin’s supplemental report and 

opinions. Plaintiff may depose Martin solely on the subject of his May 12, 2016 supplemental 

report. The parties shall equally share the costs of the deposition, as well as Martin’s expert fees. 

The parties shall work together to schedule this deposition promptly.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 19, 2016
