ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Motion to Strike Defendants’ Motions in Limine, filed July
29, 2013. Defendants Landon Speed, Jim Ashford, Baker Petroleum and Investment, Inc., and Todd
Baker’s (“the Baker Group”) response was filed on August 19, 2013. Defendant Windsor Energy
Group, LLC’s (“Windsor”) response was also filed on August 19, 2013. Defendant Mayhem Oil
& Gas Inc. (“Mayhem”) filed its response on August 21, 2013. Plaintiffs’ reply was filed on August
26, 2013. This case is currently set on the Court’s September, 2013 trial docket.
Plaintiffs seek an order striking the motions in limine filed by the Baker Group, Windsor and
Mayhem. Plaintiffs contend the Court should strike the individual motions in limine of these
defendants because they each improperly seek summary judgment or judgment as a matter of law
in the guise of a motion in limine.
The Court has carefully reviewed the motions in limine filed by the Baker Group, Windsor
and Mayhem, as well as plaintiffs’ response to each motion. Plaintiffs contend in their response to
the motions in limine filed by the Baker Group, Windsor and Mayhem that said motions in limine
should be denied or stricken because the motions seek summary judgment. Because plaintiffs have
made the same argument in response to each individual motion in limine as made in support of their

Motion to Strike, the Court finds that Plaintiffs’ Motion to Strike should be denied. Plaintiffs’
Motion to Strike Defendants’ Motions in Limine [docket no. 356] is therefore DENIED. Plaintiffs’
arguments will be addressed in the Court’s ruling on the motions in limine filed by the Baker Group,
Windsor and Mayhem.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 29th day of August, 2013.
