ORDER

On May 3, 2011, the Court conducted a hearing regarding Defendants’

14
15

Motion in Limine No. 1 to exclude certain types of evidence (Doc. #150). The Court

16

took under advisement subpart (G) of Defendants’ Motion, which seeks to exclude

17

any testimony regarding economic damages offered by Plaintiff at trial because

18

Plaintiff has not disclosed an economic expert who can testify to economic loss,

19

future lost wages, present value and work expectancy.
Defendants’ motion goes too far. Clearly, Plaintiff can testify regarding his

20
21

earnings before and after the events giving rise to his lawsuit. Moreover, Plaintiff

22

can testify to his efforts to obtain employment since that time and can offer

23

documents previously produced and identified in the Joint Pretrial Order which

24

support his testimony.

1

Moreover, the fact that Plaintiff has not identified an economic expert does

2

not preclude Plaintiff from offering the testimony of hospital executives or others

3

who have suspended Plaintiff’s medical privileges because of the NPDB report filed

4

by Defendants.

5

Finally, the Court finds Plaintiff should be permitted to offer the testimony

6

of employment agency personnel regarding Plaintiff’s job search and inability to

7

obtain employment following his suspension.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that subpart (G) of Defendants’ Motion
in Limine (Doc. #150) is DENIED.
