ORDER DENYING MOTION IN
LIMINE TO PRECLUDE
DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBITS
RELATED TO PLAINTIFF’S
MEDICAL TREATMENT
(ECF No. 52)

Defendant Costco Wholesale Corporation moves to preclude plaintiff Artano Aidini from

11

presenting color photographs of his surgical hardware, x-rays, and incisions. Aidini responds that

12

the photos are probative to an understanding of the extent of his injuries, and that the photographs

13

are not so gruesome as to be unfairly prejudicial.

14

Neither party has attached the images in question to its filing on this motion. Thus, I do

15

not know what those photographs show so it would be premature for me to rule. I direct Aidini to

16

show me and Costco’s counsel any proposed demonstrative exhibits of his surgeries before

17

seeking to present them at trial.

18

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that defendant Costco’s motion in limine to preclude the

19

plaintiff from presenting demonstrative exhibits related to his medical treatment (ECF No. 52) is

20

DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

21

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff Artano Aidini shall provide the court and

22

defendant’s counsel any proposed demonstrative exhibits of his surgeries before seeking to

23

present them at trial.

DATED this 10th day of April, 2017.
