ORDER
This matter is before the court on defendant’s motions in limine to preclude improper
arguments on compensatory damages (DE # 476) and to prevent improper communications with
jurors during trial (DE # 477). The motions are untimely. Accordingly, both motions are
DENIED. This procedural ruling should not be interpreted as the court’s approval of improper
conduct. The court expects counsel to abide by the North Carolina Revised Rules of
Professional Conduct and the Local Rules of the court. Any conduct which purportedly violates
these ethical standards should be promptly brought to the court’s attention.
This 7 January 2019.
