ORDER ON OBJECTIONS TO DEPOSITION
TESTIMONY OF DR. WILLIAM KERNS
SAYLOR, J.
Dr. William Kerns testified at his deposition that he joined Turner & Newall in October
1964. The evidence at trial, as of this writing, is that the spraying of Limpet at the Prudential
Center in Boston was concluded in 1963 or, at the very latest, in January or the winter of 1964.
Dr. Kerns’ testimony concerning his employment at Turner & Newall therefore appears to be
irrelevant, and will be excluded unless plaintiff can demonstrate its relevance and that it
otherwise satisfies the standard for admissibility.
So Ordered.
