1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA KIMBERLY FREEMAN, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Defendant. / ORDER RE DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION No. C 06-04900 JSW United States District Court 11 For the Northern District of California 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Now before the Court is the motion for leave to file a motion for reconsideration filed by Defendant regarding the Court's order on pretrial issues dated November 25, 2008. Based upon the Court's initial understanding that Defendant failed to list Steve Korn in his witness list submitted with the parties' pretrial submissions, the Court ruled that Defendant was precluded from calling Mr. Korn as a witness at trial. Upon receipt of Defendant's motion for leave to file a motion for reconsideration, the Court examined the witness list again and observed that Defendant had in fact disclosed Mr. Korn. Therefore, because Plaintiff failed to file a motion in limine to exclude Mr. Korn as a witness, the Court finds that she waived the ability to move to exclude him. The Court thus reverses its previous ruling excluding Mr. Korn as a witness. Defendant may call Mr. Korn as a witness. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: December 1, 2008 JEFFREY S. WHITE UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
