SF\3133766.1 [PROPOSED] ORDER CONCERNING AON’S MOTION IN LIMINE NO. 4, TO EXCLUDE LEE’S CLAIMS 

CASE NO. 1:99-cv-5583 OWW SMS 

Piper US LLP appeared on behalf of defendant Aon. The Court, having considered the moving 

and opposing papers and the arguments of counsel, hereby orders that Aon’s motion in limine 

No. 3 to exclude Lee’s claims for negligence, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, conspiracy to 

defraud, and breach of oral contract is denied. The Court finds that although it is undisputed that 

the USF&G policy procured on Lee’s behalf is a fully integrated policy that covers all of Lee’s 

employees and their activities, the claims Aon seeks to exclude may be broadly interpreted to rest 

upon fraud in the execution. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: February 1, 2007
