CIVIL ACTION NO.: 2:20-CV-113-TBM-MTP

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion in Limine [35] and Defendant Matt
Brown’s Motion in Limine [37]. At the hearing conducted in this matter on January 6, 2022, the
Court, having considered the pleadings, the record, the oral arguments of counsel, and the relevant
legal authority, announced its findings and conclusions. The Court concluded that Plaintiff’s
Motion in Limine [35] should be granted. The Court further concluded that Defendant Matt
Brown’s Motion in Limine [37] should be denied without prejudice.
The Court construes Plaintiff’s Motion in Limine [35] as requesting sanctions under
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(c). As the Motion [35] is granted, the appropriate remedy or
sanction at this time is for all case management deadlines to begin anew after a case management
conference with the Magistrate Judge. Plaintiff’s requests for additional relief or sanctions are held
in abeyance to be considered—if necessary—at a subsequent date and prior to trial.
Accordingly, Defendant Matt Brown’s Motion in Limine [37] to exclude Certain Medical
Records is denied without prejudice as moot. Defendants may re-raise this Motion at a later time,
if appropriate.

Limine [37] is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as moot.
THIS, the 7th day of January, 2022.
