ORDER
This matter came before the court on the motion of Plaintiffs to allow trial and deposition
testimony from a companion case currently pending in South Carolina state court into evidence at
trial (#73). The court, recognizing that this would serve to streamline litigation and conserve both
court and litigant resources, finds this motion to be well taken. However, the court reminds
Plaintiffs that any testimony presented is subject to the Federal Rules of Evidence, the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Uniform Rules of Civil Procedure for the Northern
District of Mississippi.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion to allow testimony from a
companion case as evidence at trial in the case pending in this court is hereby GRANTED subject
to evidentiary and procedural objections raised by opposing counsel.
SO ORDERED, this the 31st day of August 2011.
