IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS
ROBERT “TY” KIMZEY,
Plaintiff,
vs.
Case No. 15-1369-JTM
DIVERSIFIED SERVICES, INC, et al.
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Both parties have submitted motions in limine in anticipation of the upcoming trial.
For the reasons identified herein, the court grants and denies the motions before the court.
Defendants’ Motion in Limine
The defendants’ Motion in Limine addresses 22 separate issues. (Dkt. 71, raising
internal Motions A-U). Unlike the plaintiff’s Motion in Limine, discussed below, the motion
filed by the defendants is largely generic. In many instances, the motion raises purely
general issues of law or requests that counsel for the plaintiff be directed to follow clearlyestablished law. In addition, the court notes that in many instances, the defendants’ motion
rests on a citation to a Kansas court based upon the Kansas rules of evidence. With a few
exceptions (Motions A, B, C, F), most of defendants’ generic objections take no note of any
specific evidence or circumstances in this case.
Courts look with disfavor on motions in limine “the gist of which is that the
opposing party should be required to comply with the rules of evidence ... without
identifying specific evidence which there is reason to believe may be introduced.” Graham
v. Union Pacific R. Co., 2008 WL 4643292, *1 (E.D. Ark. Oct. 17, 2008). See also Cantu Serv. v.
Frazier, 2016 WL 237067, *2 (W.D. La. Jan. 19, 2016) (denying motion in limine in the form
of “a laundry list of broad and generic objections”). This court has expressed similar
concerns:
“A motion in limine is designed to prevent the interjection of specific
evidence that is irrelevant, inadmissible, or prejudicial.” Hemetek v. United
States, 2012 WL 3870620, *9 (S.D.W.Va. 2012). Thus, such a motion “seeking
to prohibit generic, unspecified ‘prejudicial’ testimony [is] not useful.” Id. A
motion in limine which “generally lacks specificity as to any particular
evidence” is properly denied. See United States v. DesFosses, 2011 WL 4104702,
*8 (D. Idaho 2011).
United States v. Enns, No. 15-10045-JTM, *1 (D. Kan. Dec. 14, 2005).
In their motion, the defendants ask the court to exclude or prohibit:
(A)
(B)

(I)

evidence of settlement negotiations,
any statements by the defendants of willingness to rehire Kimzey,

golden rule arguments;
commenting on absent witnesses;
calling undisclosed witnesses;

(P)
(Q)
(R)

(U)
(V)
making any “personal criticisms” of defense counsel,
arguments requesting that the jury “help” the plaintiff,
reliance on objections rendered during the course of discovery,
the personal opinions of plaintiff’s counsel,
“any rulings or statements made by the Court” before trial or “any statements by
counsel for Defendants” made outside the course of the evidence at trial,
discussion of taxes on any award to the plaintiff, or
the defendant’s motion in limine.
The plaintiff agrees to, or at least does not oppose, Motions A, D, E, G, M, O, Q, R,
U, and V. The court accordingly grants defendants’ motion as to these issues.
The plaintiff agrees to Motions B and C “with qualification.” (Dkt. 77, at 7). With
regard to potential reinstatement, the plaintiff indicates that the parties have discussed this
as a potential means of settling the case. Plaintiff’s response states that he will not mention
this unless defendants argue that Kimzey failed to reapply for employment, or that he
could have been returned to work shortly after his termination. Plaintiff argues that in such
event, he should be able to introduce evidence that the parties did not discuss the need for
a formal reapplication, and that he did unsuccessfully seek reemployment several months
after the end of his employment. The plaintiff contends that the dates of other employees’
termination or reemployment may be referenced for purposes of establishing whether they
were employed at the time of the events giving rise to this case, but agrees “not to argue
that [such evidence] is evidence of retaliation.” (Dkt. 77 at 3).
The defendants’ motion is granted as to B and C, subject to these qualifications.
The plaintiff opposes the defendants’ Motions F, H, I P, and S on the grounds that
these objections “do not make sense” and are unsupported by any reference to federal law.
The court will deny the requested motions, the first of which asks the court to avoid
3
reference to matters as to what the parties have agreed is or is not evidence. The motion
does not identify any specific agreements which have been reached, and demonstrates no
substantial danger that plaintiff will falsely assert the existence of such agreements. The
argument is purely generic, and is denied.
Next, in Motion H, defendants ask the court to prohibit plaintiff’s counsel “from
employing” demonstrative evidence or real physical evidence “in the presence of the jury”
until it has been admitted. Defendants do not indicate that any evidence in the case is
unusually prejudicial, and or which require extraordinary procedures for the introduction
of evidence. The parties may request the admission of evidence in the presence of the jury,
and publish it to the jury if it is admitted.
Motion I, which asks the court to prohibit plaintiff’s counsel from asking questions
of defense counsel “in front of the jury,” is similarly unfounded. Defendants supply no
authority supporting such an order, or provide any indication that plaintiff’s counsel will
likely employ such questions for anything beyond minor house-keeping matters.
Motion P seeks an order prohibiting plaintiff’s counsel from making “personal
criticisms” of defense counsel. The court anticipates that all counsel will behave
professionally, and finds no reason for an explicit order directing that counsel comply with
the rules of decorum.
Finally, Motion S seeks to exclude any reference to plaintiff’s counsel’s “personal
opinions as to the justness of the Plaintiff’s cause of action, or their feelings about the
Defendants.” (Dkt. 72 at 15). The court will deny this motion as unnecessary. The
4
authorities cited by the defendants— again, Kansas cases, not federal cases — do not
support the relief requested by defendants: a blanket, pre-trial directive to refrain from
improper argument. Rather, the both of the cited cases involve egregious misconduct by
counsel, and advance the unremarkable proposition that counsel may not argue from facts
which are not in evidence. See Forsyth v. Church, 141 Kan. 687, 689, 42 P.2d 975, 977 (1935);
Masson v. Kansas City Power & Light, 7 Kan. App. 2d. 344, 649, 642 P.2d 113, 118 (1982).
Defendants present no reason to assume plaintiffs counsel will engage in similar
misconduct, and the motion is denied.1 See Fleck v. Douglass Roofing, 2014 WL 11498048, *2
(D. Wy. Sept. 23, 2014) (declining in limine request to issue “a generic order to forbid
Plaintiff from using vaguely defined language” as misleading or improper).
Motion J seeks to exclude “golden rule” arguments, citing Walters v. Hitchcock, 237
In Forsyth, plaintiff’s counsel “took a wide range, called witnesses liars, stating facts not
in evidence, ridiculed witnesses, [including] witnesses [who] belonged to the “damnable
association,” the Pittsburg Clinic, “who are, “I think, one of the most highly organized ‘robbing
gangs' in the United States of America.” 42 P.2d at 977.
1
Masson was a condemnation proceeding, which the court stressed is “‘a sober inquiry
into values, designed to strike a just balance between the economic interests of the public and
those of the landowner.’” 642 P.2d at 117 (quoting Sacramento, etc. Drainage Dist. ex rel. State
Reclamation Bd. v. Reed, 215 Cal.App.2d 60, 69, 29 Cal.Rptr. 847 (1963)). Thus, “there is no room
for appeals to prejudice against the condemner or sympathy for the landowner.” Id.. Counsel
for the landowners, however, sought damages based in part on his client’s subjective fear of
power lines, based on “a Reader's Digest article on the dangers of electrical ‘smog’ and seeing a
television movie ‘Ohms’ on the same subject.” Id. at 115. In closing argument, counsel stressed
the age of his client, stressed “the size and the money behind Kansas City Power and Light,”
referred to the condemnation as “rape,” and after the case is over “hopefully ... you will have ...
sent a message to a utility that you are not going to put up with the kind of treatment of your
citizens.” Id. at 117. The court held that it was improper for the counsel for the landowners to
“deliberately” rely on improper argument by “depicting the landowners as helpless individuals
fighting a rich and ruthless corporation, which should be penalized for its wrongful conduct.”
Id. at 116.

Kan. 31, 697 P.2d 847, 849 (1985). While Kansas law precludes argument asking jurors to
“place themselves in the position of a party, a victim, or the victim’s family members,” id.
at 33, federal law is different. “[T]his so-called Golden Rule argument is not improper
when urged on the issue of ultimate liability.” Cordova v. City of Albuquerque, 816 F.3d 645,
660 (10th Cir. 2016) (citations and internal quotation omitted).
Golden Rule appeals are most closely scrutinized in the context of
awarding damages. See Kelley v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 882 F.2d 453, 457 (10th
Cir.1989) (‘golden rule’ references had no effect since court reversed and
remanded damages awards on other grounds); Schultz v. Rice, 809 F.2d 643,
652 (10th Cir.1986) (rationale for prohibiting such argument is that jury
sympathy will be unfairly aroused, resulting in disproportionate award of
damages). Here, however, the trial is limited to defendants' liability, and
does not include damages. Moreover, objections to statements that
improperly play on the jury's personal interest or bias typically arise at trial
in the context of a particular statement. The Court declines to exclude an
entire category of statements in advance. Rather it will rule on such
objections as they arise at trial in the context of specific statements.
In re Motor Fuel Temperature Sales Practices Litig., No. 06-2582-KHV, 2012 WL 2505305, at *8
(D. Kan. June 28, 2012).
Here, plaintiff “agrees not to make a Golden Rule argument about damages.” (Dkt.
77 at 5). The court grants defendants’ Motion J as to damages, and denies it as to liability.
See Rivera v. Volvo Cars of North America, 2015 WL 11089502, *1 (D.N.M. July 23, 2015)
(denying in part motion in limine and holding “Plaintiff may, in closing argument, address
the ‘Golden Rule’ for purposes of liability”).
Motion K seeks an order barring plaintiff from commenting on any absent witnesses,
6
citing Kansas decisions.2 The plaintiff argues that federal law permits reference to a missing
witness, citing Wilson v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 893 F.2d 1149, 1152 (10th Cir. 1990).
In Wilson, the court determined that the trial court had not abused its discretion in
declining to issue an instruction on inferences to be drawn from a missing witness.3
However, while an explicit instruction was not required in Wilson, the court indicated that
parties might still comment on the absence of a witness during argument:
We thus conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in
declining to give a missing witness instruction. Similarly, it was permissible
for the district court to allow defense counsel's comment in closing argument
that Dr. Say was equally available to testify for the Wilsons. When an absent
witness is equally available to both parties, either party is open to the
inference that the missing testimony would have been adverse to it. See 2 J.
Wigmore, supra, at § 288, at 208 & n. 4 (listing cases supporting the “more
logical view ... that the failure to produce [a witness equally available to both
2
Spraker v. Lankin, 218 Kan. 609, 615, 545 P.2d 352, 357 (1976); Borth v. Borth, 221 Kan. 494, 497, 561
P.2d 408, 411 (1977); Skelly Oil Co. v. Urban Renewal Agency of City of Topeka, 211 Kan. 804, 807, 508 P.2d
954, 957 (1973).
3
The court separately set forth, 893 F.2d at 1150-51, the standards for the issuance of an explicit
instruction on the inferences to be drawn from the failure to call a witness:
Courts have recognized four factors that must be present before a jury can be instructed
to infer that a missing witness would have testified adversely to a party: (1) the party
must have the power to produce the witness, see, e.g., [United States v.] Sutton, 732 F.2d
[1483,] 1492 [10th Cir. 1984)]; 2 J. Wigmore, Evidence in Trials at Common Law § 286 (J.
Chadbourn rev.ed. 1979 & Supp.1989); (2) the witness must not be one who would
ordinarily be expected to be biased against the party, see id. § 287, at 202 & n. 1; (3) the
witness's testimony must not be “comparatively unimportant, or cumulative, or inferior
to what is already utilized” in the trial, see id. § 287, at 202–03 (emphasis omitted); and (4)
the witness must not be equally available to testify for either side, see, e.g., Sutton, 732
F.2d at 1492; Quad Constr., Inc. v. William A. Smith Contracting Co., 534 F.2d 1391, 1394
(10th Cir.1976); 2 J. Wigmore, supra, at § 288.3 The party requesting a missing witness
instruction adverse to the other side has the burden to demonstrate that these criteria are
satisfied. See, e.g., Sutton, 732 F.2d at 1492 (criminal defendant has burden to show that
there are missing government witnesses); Jones v. Otis Elevator Co., 861 F.2d 655, 659–60
(11th Cir.1988) (requesting party must establish that potential witness is unavailable and
that potential testimony is relevant and noncumulative.
7
sides] is open to an inference against both parties, the particular strength of the
inference against either depending on the circumstances”) (emphasis in
original). In these circumstances, comment by both sides in closing argument
regarding the missing witness is appropriate. See C. McCormick,
McCormick's HANDBOOK OF THE LAW OF EVIDENCE § 272, at 657–58 (E. Cleary
ed. 1972). If one side makes “an argument on failure to produce [a witness
that] is fallacious, the remedy is the usual one, namely the answering
argument and the jury's good sense.” Id. § 272, at 659.
893 F.2d 1149.
The court hereby denies the defendants’ Motion K.
Motion L asks the court to bar the use of any previously undisclosed witnesses. The
plaintiff notes in his response that the defendants’ cited authority, West v. Martin, 11
Kan.App. 2d 55, 713 P.2d 957 (1986), is not only a Kansas decision which is not controlling
here, but the court in fact concluded that the trial court had erred in refusing to permit the
expert testimony of a medical expert.4
While defendants’ motion does rest on citation to state law, the court retains the
power under Rule 37(c)(1) to enforce the failure to give proper disclosure under Rule 26.
And while the defendants’ motion is generic in nature, the plaintiff’s response is equally
so — even though it is plaintiff who should know if he intends to call any undisclosed
witnesses.
A party who fails to properly make a disclosure in violation of Rule
4
The trial court excluded the expert, Dr. Ernest Neighbor, on the grounds that he had not been
identified explicitly in pretrial disclosures. The Court of Appeals found that while the plaintiff’s
interrogatory response “leaves a lot to be desired,” the plaintiff had nonetheless indicated that it planned
to call “Dr. Ernest H. Neighbors, [sic ] M.D.” as a witness, and otherwise gave sufficient information that
“Defendant was obviously not deceived.” 11 Kan.App.2d at 58. The court observed that “[a] trial judge
has discretion in this area,” but given the defendant’s knowledge, exclusion of the testimony was
erroneous. Id.
8
26 may not use at trial any witnesses or information that was not disclosed,
unless the court determines that the failure to disclose was substantially
justified or harmless. Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(c)(1). The non-moving party has the
burden of showing that it was substantially justified in failing to comply with
Rule 26(a) or that such failure was harmless. See Sender v. Mann, 225 F.R.D.
645, 655 (D. Colo. 2004). The Tenth Circuit has identified four factors the
Court should consider to guide its discretion in determining whether a Rule
26(a) violation is substantially justified or harmless: “(1) the prejudice or
surprise to the party against whom the testimony is offered; (2) the ability of
the party to cure the prejudice; (3) the extent to which introducing such
testimony would disrupt the trial; and (4) the moving party's bad faith or
willfulness.” Woodworker's Supply, Inc. v. Principal Mut. Life Ins. Co., 170 F.3d
985, 993 (10th Cir. 1999) (citations omitted); see also Jacobsen v. Deseret Book
Co., 287 F.3d 936, 953 (10th Cir. 2002).
White v. Deere and Co., 2016 WL 525911, *1 (D. Col. Feb. 10, 2016).
The court hereby grants Motion L. To the extent plaintiff wishes to call previously
undisclosed witnesses, he must obtain prior leave outside the presence of the jury.
In Motion N, the defendants seek to bar the use of documents not properly disclosed
under Rule 26 pursuant to Rule 37(c)(1). The plaintiff opposes the motion in a footnote,
which merely states that the request “is unnecessary,” but otherwise provides no argument
or explanation. (Dkt. 77, at 1 n. 3). The court grants Motion N. To the extent any party
wishes to present undisclosed documents, they must obtain prior approval of the court
outside the presence of the jury.
Finally, in Motion T, the defendants ask that the court prohibit any reference to
“any rulings or statements made by the Court” before trial or “any statements by counsel
for Defendants” made outside the course of the evidence at trial. Defendants cite no
authority for the motion. The plaintiff does not address the request to preclude reference
9
to comments by the court, but opposes the request to bar reference to comments by counsel
as “too broad,” because it might include “the pretrial order, requests for admission,
stipulations, discovery responses and other statements by counsel in its representation of
Defendants.” (Dkt. 77 at 6).
The court hereby grants Motion T, except as to any stipulations or responses to
requests for admissions.
Plaintiff’s Motion in Limine
The court grants as unopposed plaintiff’s motions to exclude reference to the reason
for his prior FMLA leave (Motion 4)5 or any demand letters or settlement negotiations
(Motion 8).
The court grants, over defendants’ objection, plaintiff’s motion to exclude (Motion
5) comments attributed to Kimzey at a wedding which occurred several months after his
termination. The plaintiff seeks to exclude evidence from Crouch that he understood
Kimzey to have stated at the wedding that he “had the best lawyer in Kansas,” and
otherwise expected to win the present lawsuit. The defendants argue that the evidence is
relevant because it supports its contention that the plaintiff “was financially motivated and
may have intentionally disrupted the workplace” by deliberating attempting to “rile up
5
Defendants do argue in their Response (Dkt. 78, at 4) that the fact of the earlier FMLA leave
should be admissible, as it tends to diminish an inference of intent, but agrees not to reference the reason
for the leave, which was low testosterone. Plaintiff’s original motion (Dkt. 70, at 3-4) narrowly targets
“[t]he personal medical reason for his leave,” and the motion is granted on this basis.
10
Crouch” in their final conversation, and “[w]hen that did not work, [he] voluntarily
terminated himself.” (Dkt. 78, at 11).
The defendants may be able to argue this view of the case based on other evidence,
but the wedding comments provide no support for it. The comments attributed to Kimzey
at the wedding are the sort of comments which might be made by any litigant who is
confident of the rightness of his or her cause. Accordingly, the wedding comments are
probative of nothing, and properly excluded.
With respect to the remaining arguments advanced by plaintiff, the court will first
deny the request to exclude matters relating to his employment or disciplinary history
(Motion 1). The cases cited by plaintiff do not support a different conclusion. In Miller v.
Eby Realty Group LLC, 396 F.3d 1105, 1115 (10th Cir. Kan. 2005), the parties had explicitly
stipulated that “[i]n terminating [Mr. Miller's] employment, no consideration of any kind
was given to [his] past performance.” The defendant subsequently attempted to introduce
evidence of prior performance in order to combat, it argued, evidence of pretext suggested
by an EEOC letter which was introduced into evidence. The Tenth Circuit simply held that
it was not an abuse of discretion for the district court to enforce the explicit stipulation,
which “was voluntarily entered into by both parties for strategic reasons.” Id. at 1116. No
such stipulation exists here.
The other cases cited by plaintiff are equally distinguishable. For example, in Hood
v. Hawker Beechcraft, No. 2011 WL 884459, (D. Kan. March 11, 2011), Judge Belot excluded
evidence of the quality of plaintiff’s job performance, since the defendant claimed to have
11
terminated the plaintiff for attendance reasons. As a result, “[t]he only records which are
relevant to the case are plaintiff’s attendance, her Step 1, 2, and 3 violations for attendance
and her FMLA history.” Id. at *1. Here, defendants disputes any retaliatory intent, argues
that Crouch in fact bent over backwards to accommodate a marginal employee, and that
the plaintiff in fact voluntarily resigned from his employment. The plaintiff’s employment
history is directly relevant to these contentions.
The plaintiff also seeks to exclude (Motion 2) evidence in support of the following
contention advanced in the Pretrial Order:
Plaintiff’s co-workers, including Brooke Gerten, Cheryl Holladay, Duane
Baker, and Robbie Sexton, claim that Dale Crouch was too nice when it came
to Plaintiff’s job performance and absenteeism and expressed frustration that
Plaintiff took advantage of Crouch as a supervisor.
(Dkt. 70, at 3). The plaintiff contends that the fact his co-workers believe that Crouch “is a
swell and patient guy is just not relevant” to the issues in the case. (Dkt. 70, at 3). This
incorrectly summarizes the cited evidence, which was not generic character evidence that
Crouch was “swell” in some abstract sense, but directly relates to the perception that
Crouch acted fairly towards Kimzey specifically “when it came to Plaintiff’s job
performance and absenteeism.” The evidence of Crouch’s historical treatment of Kimzey
is relevant to his treatment of Kimzey in June of 2015, and the evidence is admissible.6
The plaintiff’s request to exclude (Motion 3) evidence that would support the
6
Plaintiff’s motion also notes that “[i]n addition, Gerten, Holladay, Baker and Sexton are not
listed as witnesses on any of Defendants’ witness disclosure.” (Dkt. 70, at 3). The defendant’s Response to
the motion in limine (Dkt. 78, at 8-9) does not address the failure to identify these persons as witnesses.
The witnesses accordingly will be excluded absent good cause shown by the defendants.
12
contention, made in defendant’s summary judgment motion, that the “[p]laintiff stated that
Crouch was a ‘fair’ supervisor, did not treat him differently from other employees, and
often give him pay advances” (Dkt. 70, at 3). The plaintiff offers no support for the request
other than a simple assertion that the evidence “is irrelevant to the issues at hand.” Id. But
the underlying motive for Crouch’s actions is a key issue in the case, and his historical
treatment of the plaintiff, as expressed in plaintiff’s own statements, is probative of that
issue.
In Motion 6, the plaintiff seeks to exclude certain correspondence he sent to his
supervisors. In these letters, the plaintiff asked for promotion to lead, for pay raises, and
about his disagreements with management about how employees were trained. The letters
were submitted some time before his termination. On the other hand, a central issue of the
case is whether defendants acted with a retaliatory intent in terminating plaintiffs
employment. Evidence that the defendants cooperated with Kimzey’s requests and
accommodated his complaints has a natural tendency to diminish any inference of
wrongful intent. The court denies Motion 6.
Finally, plaintiff seeks to exclude argument relating to his recitation of the final
meeting with Crouch. (Motion 7.) On June 19, 2015, Kimzey prepared a statement to the
KDOL in which he explained in detail the events surrounding his termination, and includes
an explicit quote attributed to Crouch in response to his suggestion that he was thinking
of putting in his two week notice. According to the June 19 charge, Crouch responded:
“after all your shit?” After the KDOL denied the charge, Kimzey submitted a statement
13
indicating that he was represented by counsel, and also includes a factual narrative which
changes Crouch’s alleged comment to: “After I put up with all your FMLA crap?”
The only authority Kimzey cites in support of exclusion, Carlyle v. Lai, 783 S.W.2d
925, 929-30 (Mo.App. 1989), is plainly distinguishable. Carlyle was a wrongful death case,
in which the trial court allowed the defendant to inquire as to when the decedent’s mother
contacted an attorney. The Missouri Court of Appeals held the questioning was error,
stressing that there was no valid purpose for it other than the creation of prejudice: “The
questions ... regarding when Ms. Kramer hired plaintiffs' attorney ... were asked to
discredit the plaintiffs as avaricious because they sought the services of a lawyer soon after
their son's death.” Id. at 929-930.
In the present case, the cited argument or evidence does not involve a gratuitous
reference to hiring an attorney, or a suggestion of unnatural avarice. As noted in the prior
summary judgment order, what occurred during the conversation between Crouch and
Kimzey is the central issue in the case. As to that central issue, Kimzey’s statements as to
what happened is highly relevant. That Kimzey, within a short period of time,
substantially altered his quoted language for a pivotal comment by his supervisor renders
his version of events subject to reasonable questions of credibility.
14
IT IS ACCORDINGLY ORDERED this 13th day of January, 2017, that the plaintiff
and defendants’ Motions in Limine (Dkt. 71, 74) are granted in part and denied in part as
provided herein.
