IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DAMERON HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

USI ADMINISTRATORS, INC.; and 

DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, 

 Defendants. 

 /

No. Civ. 2:01-CV-01788 JAM GGH

Memorandum of Opinion

and Order

 The matter before the court is Dameron Hospital 

Association’s (“Dameron”) motion in limine seeking to exclude 

evidence at trial. Defendant USI Administrators, Inc. (“USI”) 

opposes the motion.1 The court hereby denies Dameron’s motion in 

limine. Motions in limine are usually filed after the pretrial 

conference. Accordingly, Dameron’s motion is premature.2 

 

1

 This motion was determined to be suitable for decision 

without oral argument. E.D. Cal. L.R. 78-230(h). 

2

 The final pretrial conference in this matter is currently 

set for December 5, 2008. Docket at 22.

Dameron’s request is more appropriately raised in its pretrial 

statement.3 This motion is denied without prejudice to its 

renewal closer to trial. If and when a pretrial order issues 

later in these proceedings, a briefing schedule will be set with 

respect to both parties’ motions in limine.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 12, 2008 

 

3

 Ten days prior to the date set by the court for holding 

the final pretrial conference, counsel shall file either a 

separate pretrial statement or a joint pretrial statement 

containing, among other things, “[a] plain concise summary of 

any reasonably anticipated disputes concerning the admissibility 

of [evidence] . . . and a statement whether such dispute should 

be resolved by motion in limine, briefed in the trial brief, or 

addressed in some other manner.” See E.D. Cal. L.R. 16-281.
