KYONG OK YU, et al.,
Plaintiffs,

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’
MOTION IN LIMINE

v.
FIVE BOARDS, LLC, et al.,

11

Defendants.

13

This matter comes before the Court on the plaintiffs’ motion in limine, Dkt. 65, which

14

is opposed in part by defendants. Dkt. 69. Specifically, plaintiffs ask the Court “for admission

15

or take judicial notice of [nine] internet newspaper articles regarding Seal’s Motel and its

16

neighbor motels, and crimes and conditions thereof.” Dkt. 65. Plaintiffs’ motion is DENIED,

17

as it is unnecessary for the Court to take judicial notice of these newspaper articles simply to

18

“show that the information was publicly available.” Even if the newspaper articles are

19

properly authenticated, many of the articles contain multiple levels of hearsay.

The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Order to counsel for both parties.
DATED this 17th day of September, 2018.
