For the Northern District of California

United States District Court

10
This motion came before the Court on January 10, 2012, on Plaintiffs’ motion in
12
limine number one, a motion to exclude the content of Jane Doe’s emails from admission into
13
evidence at trial. The Court finds that the content of the emails is more prejudicial than it is
14
probative of any relevant issue in the case, particularly in light of the four witnesses for the
15
defense who will be able to testify to the subject matter for which the emails were
16
purportedly to be offered (i.e. an alternative theory for the Defendants’ treatment of
17
Plaintiffs). Therefore, under Federal Rule of Evidence 403, the emails shall be excluded.
18
The Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
