Cor Clearing, LLC v. First Standard Financial Co., LLC

Filing 65

OPINION & ORDER re: 41 MOTION in Limine filed by Cor Clearing, LLC. The Court has reviewed the unopposed motions in limine. The Court grants the relief sought in both, substantially for the reasons stated by Cor, including th at the statements in question are, clearly, hearsay if offered for the truth of the matter asserted. And because First Standard elected not to respond to the motions in limine, it has not identified a non-hearsay basis for receiving these statement s. The Court will set out its reasons for this ruling in greater length on the record at the final pre-trial conference. Accordingly, at the final pretrial conference, in addition to setting out its reasons for granting Cor's motions in limine, the Court will also take up with counsel Cor's motion to enter judgment in its favor. If the Court elects not to grant that motion at that time, the Court will then use the balance of the conference to discuss the substance of the upcoming t rial. Counsel should come to the conference fully prepared to respond to questions regarding all aspects of the trial. SO ORDERED. (Final Pretrial Conference set for 1/10/2019 at 12:00 PM before Judge Paul A. Engelmayer.) (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 1/2/2019) (anc)
