CIVIL NO. 2:16-CV-277-DBH

ORDER ON DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO STRIKE
The motion to strike is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. I cannot determine on
the papers whether the statements in question are protected by the Maine
statute, 5 M.R.S.A. § 4612(1)(A). The defendant can seek appropriate relief if the
plaintiff seeks to use them as evidence or can renew its motion to strike them
from the pleading if it becomes apparent at summary judgment or trial that the
statements were confidential when made.
SO ORDERED.
DATED THIS 14TH DAY OF JULY, 2016
/S/D. BROCK HORNBY
