[ECF No. 70]
RADIOSHACK CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants.
_____________________________________/

16

The parties are submitting a joint letter brief on July 26, 2012 about the admissibility of

17

complaints against Mr. Aybef. The process for the content of that brief is set forth in the court’s

18

order at ECF No. 72.

19

The court issues this order to mention that there could be threshold issues of admissibility but

20

there also may be Rule 403 issues of juror confusion and the mini/side trial issues that the court

21

mentioned in earlier case management conferences. To the extent that Plaintiff’s counsel can be as

22

specific as possible about what they want to use, the court will be in a better position to offer an

23

earlier advisory opinion on a likely in limine ruling. But if Plaintiff cannot, it may be harder to make

24

a call now (as opposed to in the context of a proper in limine motion at the pretrial conference).

25
26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
