ORDER

This cause is before the Court on:
Dkt. 710

Motion for Reconsideration

Plaintiff Regions Bank moves for reconsideration of the Court’s prior Order on
motions in limine (Dkt. 703), as to the Order on Plaintiffs Motion in Limine (Dkt. 653), in
which the Court granted exclusion of the listed witnesses except for Michael Gallatin,
based on prejudice to Regions due to no opportunity to depose the witnesses in
advance.

Plaintiff Regions argues that Michael Gallatin should be excluded on the same
basis as the other witnesses.
In Section B of the Motion, Plaintiff Regions briefly addressed the requirement of
disclosure of trial witnesses at least thirty days prior to trial. The Court mistakenly
believed that Regions was not requesting exclusion of Michael Gallatin because,
although Michael Gallatin was not included on Defendants’ initial disclosures, Michael
Gallatin was disclosed as a trial witness in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3)(B).

Case No. 8:12-CV-1837-T-17MAP
After consideration, the Court grants Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration (Dkt.
710), and grants Plaintiff’s Motion in Limine as to Witness Michael Gallatin.

DONE and ORDERED in Chambers in Tampa, Florida on thi§^<*2#2ay of May,
2016.
