IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN ADAMS, et al., CASE NO. CV F 02-5741 LJO DLB

Plaintiffs, ORDER ON PLAINTIFFS’ MOTIONS IN

LIMINE 

vs. (Docs. 174-181.)

PAUL SPEERS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

This Court has considered plaintiffs John Adams and Cathy Adams’ motions in limine on the

record and VACATES the June 13, 2009 hearing. This Court issues the following rulings on plaintiffs’

motions in limine.

1. Plaintiffs’ Motion In Limine To Admit Evidence Of Defendant’s Prior Act (Doc.

174): This Court DENIES the motion in limine as seeking to introduce irrelevant evidence. This Court

further DENIES the motion under F.R.Evid. 403 given danger of confusion of issues.

2. Plaintiffs’ Motion In Limine To Exclude Evidence From Trial (Spoliation) (Doc.

175): This Court DENIES without prejudice the motion in limine subject to a request (depending on the

evidence) for a “stronger evidence” instruction to the jury.

3. Plaintiffs’ Motion In Limine To Limit Cross-Examination of Plaintiffs’ Police

Practices Expert On Extraneous Matters (Doc. 176): This Court GRANTS the motion in limine in

the absence of opposition.
