     CASE NO.:  19STCV45536

 

[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO EXCLUDE DEFENDANT’S EXPERT MICHELLE ANN ZELLER

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

January 10, 2023

 

In the PI Court system, the trial court rules on motions in limine, even those that significantly affect trial preparation.  Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion to exclude Defendants’ expert, Michelle Ann Zeller, Psy.D., and her findings, is denied without prejudice to Plaintiff raising this issue for the trial judge to consider, on its own motion, at the time that the judge rules upon motions in limine. The Court orders that the briefing on this motion be included in the trial binders in Tab B along with any motions in limine filed in the case.  

Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED without prejudice.

 

Moving party to give notice.
