COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM

DEFENDANT
ORDER

Defendant’s Motion in Limine to Limit Issue to Whether the CMCSS Could
Implement J.W.’s IEP at Weems Academy (Doc. No. 75) is GRANTED. Based on Judge
Nixon’s April 6, 2015 Order,1 the only issue ripe for trial are whether Weems could implement
J.W.’s IEP. If it could not, the reassignment to Weems would be a change in educational
placement.
Defendant’s Motion in Limine in Limine to Prohibit Testimony or Evidence
Concerning Matters Predating March 31, 2011 (Doc. No. 76) is GRANTED. It seems to me
that issues that were previously resolved event happening before March 31, 2011 may not be
relitigated here and are not relevant to the current issue, i.e., whether Weems could implement
J.W.’s IEP.
If counsel believes any information pertaining to things which occurred before the
settlement might be helpful for background, it might be permitted in brief form.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 29th day of April, 2016.
