Cochran v. Massey
Filing

ORDER denying 36 Motion in Limine. Signed by Chief Judge David R. Herndon on 4/26/14. (klh, )
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
DOUG COCHRAN
Plaintiff,
v.
JAMES MASSEY,
Defendant.
No. 12-cv-765-DRH
ORDER
HERNDON, Chief Judge:
Pending before the Court is defendant’s motion in limine to exclude
improper evidence and argument relating to: (1) established business relationship
and (2) prior consent or permission (Doc. 36). Defendant, inter alia, argues that
during discovery plaintiff gave evasive, incomplete and false answers to written
interrogatories and requests for production on these issues. The Court DENIES
the motion.
On March 31, 2014, the Court denied as untimely defendant’s
motion request to reopen discovery (Doc. 47). In the motion to reopen discovery,
defendant raised similar arguments regarding discovery violations as he does in
this motion in limine. The evidence and argument that defendant seeks to omit
are the precise issues that are in dispute in this case which the jury must decide
based on the evidence that is produces and the credibility of the witnesses.
Clearly, these issues that defendant seek to exclude are relevant, germane and
proper.
Thus, the Court DENIES defendant’s motion in limine to exclude

improper evidence and argument relating to: (1) established business relationship
and (2) prior consent or permission (Doc. 36).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed this 24th day of April, 2014.
