v.
THERESA LANTZ ET AL.,
Defendants.
CASE NO. 3:04CV1215(DFM)
RULING ON MOTIONS IN LIMINE
Pending before the court are motions in limine (docs. #247,
#248, #249, #250 and #251).
Following a final pretrial
conference with counsel held on April 19, 2013, the court rules
as follows:
1. Defendants' motion to preclude expert testimony by lay
witnesses (doc. #247) is denied without prejudice to raising
specific objections at trial.
2. Defendants' motion to preclude the deposition testimony
of plaintiff's witness Abdullah Antepli (doc. #248) is denied
without prejudice.
Defendants may raise specific objections as
the deposition is read into the record.
Plaintiff shall submit
the relevant portions of the deposition transcript as a
documentary exhibit.
3. Defendants' motion to preclude evidence re: past conduct
(doc. #249) is denied.
Defendants' arguments go to the weight
of the evidence, not its relevance.
4. Plaintiff's motion to preclude expert testimony by
defendants' witnesses Imam Wali Rushdan and Aly Ghanim (doc.
#250) is denied without prejudice.
Defendants represent that
they will not call those witnesses.
5. Plaintiff's motion to preclude opinion testimony of
defendants Lantz and Bruno regarding Islamic doctrine and prison
security (doc. #251) is denied without prejudice to raising
specific objections at trial.
SO ORDERED at Hartford, Connecticut this 22nd day of April,
2013.
