There have been court rulings specifying when a motion "to exclude reference to" is an issue. e.g.,
Plaintiff’s expert’s testimony was excluded at trial, on the grounds it was irrelevant; (e) plaintiff’s copious pre-trial and at-trial briefing, including service of five motions in limine on four different dates, all of which had to be evaluated, and three of which had to be opposed, and the submission of three separate trial briefs (36 pages, 61 pages with 70 pages of exhibits attached, and 20 pages with 150 pages of exhibits attached), all of which had to be evaluated; (f) trial over six days, involving an

The Court further predicts that even if the parties cannot stipulate to something of this kind, it is likely that the Court itself will craft some method of reaching necessary legal decisions before trial is commenced, such as by ordering trial briefs addressing issues in limine and/or instructional issues.

In this case, unlike many others, before the matter settled the parties actually prepared-for and went to trial, where the Court entertained nearly thirty-five motions in limine and numerous other trial motions. (See Decl. Steve Mikhov, ¶¶ 24-27.) After roughly two weeks, the trial exceeded the number of expected trial days, and several jurors became unavailable forcing the Court to declare a mistrial. (Id.)

CVCHS is free to make a motion in limine as to these subparagraphs at the time of trial. The court grants the motion to strike the prayer for punitive damages. A prayer for punitive damages must be supported by factual allegations sufficient to support the legal conclusion that an employee of CVCHS acted despicably and with malice or oppression and that the conditions specified Civil Code § 3294(b) are met.

Defendant argues that the 3.7 hours block-billed for drafting 17 motions in limine and 0.7 hours reviewing them are unreasonable because the motions were copied from templates with virtually no modifications. (Opposition at p. 7.) The Court finds that these hours are reasonable. Defendant argues that the 6.7 hours for deposing Defendant’s person most knowledgeable should be reduced because the deposition would have been more efficiently handled by one of the associates who had already worked on this case.

Issue 5: Filing Fees for In Limine Motions The defendants filed separate in limine motions and paid a separate motion fee. Each motion dealt with a discrete issue, which is appropriate. The motion to tax costs is DENIED. 4. Issue 6: Service of Process/Dr. Josephson Three was a question whether Dr. Josephson could be served and appear at trial. Apparently, she was “on leave.” The court asked counsel to meet and confer and attempt to resolve the matter. They did; and the defendants agreed to pay her fees.

Therefore, the HDSI Defendants would likely object to any such testimony and will likely file a motion in limine to prevent Plaintiffs from being able to call Ms. Truong as a witness at trial. The Court also notes that there is no evidence that Ms. Truong will not have the informed written consent from her client to testify. Based on the evidence and arguments presented, the Court finds no cause to disqualify Ms. Truong. Conclusion For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs’ motion to disqualify is denied.
