Plaintiffs,
Case No. C16-1422RSL

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’
MOTION IN LIMINE

YCT. NOVA, et al.,
Defendants.

This matter comes before the Court on “Plaintiffs’ Motion in Limine.” Dkt. # 79.

15

A state court jury recently determined that there was no joint venture agreement or

16

contract between Yadvish/Yachtfish Marine, Inc. and Holmes/Marquis International

17

Holdings, and plaintiffs seek to exclude evidence and testimony offered to prove the

18

contrary. The motion is unopposed and is therefore GRANTED. Evidence related to the

19

relationship between plaintiffs and the Yadvish defendants may be relevant to other

20

issues, such as knowledge or intent, but it may not be offered to prove the existence of a

21

joint venture agreement or contract.
