MDL Docket No. 4:03CV1507-WRW

 4:04CV01169

 PLAINTIFF

 

 DEFENDANTS

ORDER

 Defendants’ Motion in Limine to Exclude Improper Tactics Used in Nevada Trial (Doc. 

No. 360) is GRANTED in PART and DENIED in PART.

1. Leading Questions -- I believe my letter of November 16, 2007 (Doc. No. 366)

adequately addressed this issue.

2. Christina Clarke -- It appears to me that the article written by Dr. Chrstina Clarke is not

the typical “learned treatise” contemplated by FED. R. EVID. 803(18); therefore, reference to it is

precluded under this rule.

3. Demonstrative Slides -- I’m highly dubious about the admissibility of Plaintiff’s

demonstrative slides, such as those that were introduced through the testimony of Dr. Blume in the

Nevada trial; but I don’t feel fully enough advised in the premises to make a definitive ruling at this

time. It is likely that I will preclude these, but, again, I want to know more before I make a final

decision. 

4. Cynthia Pearson -- The online statements by Cynthia Pearson are excluded.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of December, 2007.
