29 JPS HR 2600: Employee 

Standards

Irrelevant and prejudicial because such policies 

apply solely to JPS employees. See Fed. R. Evid. 

401-403.

30 JPS HR 1701: Resolution 

Procedures

Irrelevant and prejudicial because such policies 

apply solely to JPS employees. See Fed. R. Evid. 

401-403.

91 Hurd Notes These handwritten notes contain hearsay and 

are illegible in places, meaning that even 

legible content cannot be properly understood 

in context and is incomplete. They also contain 

irrelevant and prejudicial information. See Fed. 

R. Evid. 106, 401-403, 801-802.

94 Narcissistic Personality 

Disorder Criteria

This writing is hearsay, the source of the 

information is not evident, and Defendants are 

unable to introduce other parts of the writing 

for completeness and context. See Fed. R. 

Evid. 106, 403, 801-802.

Plaintiff reserved Exhibit Nos. 1-5 “for any Demonstrative of Summary Exhibits Create at 

Trial with Witnesses.” Defendants do not object to his arrangement in general, but reserve their 

right to object to specific exhibits if and when they are created.

II. DEFENDANTS’ EXHIBIT LIST (ECF NO. 48)

(i) The Parties agree to the admissibility of Defendants’ Exhibit Nos. 1-19, 30-34.

(ii) Plaintiff objects to portions of Defendants’ Exhibits Nos. 20-29 (which are text 

message threads) on relevance and prejudice grounds under Federal Rules of Evidence 401-403. 

Plaintiff’s objection stems from the fact that Defendants have identified the entirety of the text 

message threads as exhibits, rather than identifying only those portions of the threads that are 

relevant. Plaintiff does not otherwise object to Defendants’ Exhibit Nos. 20-29. Defendants have 

agreed to narrow the text message threads reflected in Exhibits Nos. 20-29 so that only the relevant 

conversations within the text message threads are included.
