THE CITY OF LEWISBURG, TENNESSEE

DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Plaintiff’s Motion in Limine (Doc. No. 51) is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN
PART.
Plaintiff’s unopposed request that there be no mention of unemployment compensation is
GRANTED.
The forgery conviction is admissible. However, there is no need to talk about the
probation revocation. I believe that Defendants can make the points he wants to make – that
Plaintiff did not want to be a “laborer” – without going into how he got the job with Defendants.
The request that there be no mention of Plaintiff’s work history before and after his
employment with Defendants is DENIED. However, it seems to me that the only relevant work
history before this job would be the fact that he was a truck driver, since Defendants’ theory
appears to be that Plaintiff wanted to return to being a truck driver.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 8th day of August, 2017.
