ORDER

Before the Court is Defendant Paperchine’s Motion in Limine Regarding

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) Investigations or Citations

(Doc. 46). Defendant moves the court for an order precluding Plaintiffs from

“introducing at trial any evidence, argument, or inference regarding any investigation of

the Defendant by OSHA related to this accident, as well as . . . any citation issued to the

Defendant as a result of that or any other OSHA investigation.” (Id.) The parties are

currently in the discovery phase, with discovery not due to be completed until September

30, 2009 (Doc. 58). Since discovery is still ongoing, the Court finds it is premature to

address the motion in limine at this time when the parties are still determining the

underlying facts and issues in the case. As a result, the Court will deny Defendant’s
