ORDER DENYING MOTION IN

Defendants.

Case No. 2:15-cv-01219-APG-PAL

Plaintiff Roderick Wise moves to prohibit defendant Southern Tier from offering

12

testimony from both Dr. Selznick and Dr. Forage, alleging that their areas of testimony are

13

overlapping and redundant. ECF No. 89. Southern Tier points out that the two doctors have

14

different disciplines (orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery), and that Dr. Forage was added only

15

after Wise brought Dr. Gross into the case. ECF No. 104. At this stage I cannot determine

16

whether the testimony of the doctors will be duplicative. Thus, I will deny the motion without

17

prejudice. However, all parties are warned that duplicative testimony will not be allowed at trial.

18

The parties are to streamline their trial presentations to avoid redundancy, especially regarding

19

expert testimony.
