Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) on July 16, 2010 and filed a Second

motions in limine. (Doc. Nos. 143-149.) The Court’s Civil Trial Scheduling Order explains that
each side is limited to five such motions. Therefore, Plaintiff shall immediately file a response to
this order, in which he designates two motions in limine to be withdrawn. Defendants’
opposition to Plaintiff’s motions in limine will be due on February 20, 2015.
