2. The motion is DENIED in part, specifically, with respect to Exhibits 1-4 to the

Declaration of Suong T. Nguyen in Support of Plaintiff’s Opposition to Defendants’ Motion

in Limine No. 4, because defendants have not, within the time provided by Civil Local Rule

79-5(d), submitted a supporting declaration; the Clerk is directed to file said exhibits in the

public record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
