  3. CARPENTER CO. et al v. BASF SE et al

    REPLY BRIEF to Opposition to Motion

    Filed October 15, 2015

    128-6) ¶ 1 . Case 2:08-cv-05169-WJM-MF Document 191 Filed 10/15/15 Page 14 of 17 PageID: 11226 11 Williams v. Illinois, 132 S. Ct. 2221, 2236-37 (2012) (noting an increased risk that a jury, as opposed to a judge, will take evidence as substantive proof rather than just as expert reliance material); Fed. R. Evid. 103(d) (“To the extent practicable, the court must conduct a jury trial so that inadmissible evidence is not suggested to the jury by any means.”).

  4. Nichia Corporation v. Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd. et al

    REPLY to Response to Motion re MOTION to Strike 179 Proposed Findings of Fact Defendants' Motion to Strike Portions of Plaintiff Nichia Corp.'s Post-Trial Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law

    Filed July 2, 2015

    Everlight is objecting and moving to strike this evidence now, its first and only opportunity to do so, because Nichia waited until post-trial filings to introduce it. If Everlight had not filed its Motion, the objections would be waived under FRE 103, and the Court and Federal Circuit would have undoubtedly noted that fact. Instead, the Court should limit the evidence to what was admitted at trial and consider nothing else in reaching its decision.

  5. Moore, et al v. Hartman, et al

    Memorandum in opposition to re MOTION for New Trial

    Filed September 29, 2014

    ’s Mot. at 28 n.13, and he claims that his objection was therefore preserved under Federal Rule of Evidence 103(b). That argument fails, however, because, by Moore’s own hypothesis, Staubach’s impromptu testimony about the club’s admission policy raised an entirely different issue than the basic fact of Moore’s membership in the club.

  6. Morse v. San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District et al

    MOTION in Limine No. 1 to Exclude Speculative and Hearsay Evidence from Plaintiff David Morse

    Filed August 28, 2014

    Luce v. United States, 469 U.S. 38, 41 (1984). F.R.E. 103(c) dictates that “in jury cases, proceedings shall be conducted, to the extent practicable, so as to prevent inadmissible evidence from being suggested to the jury by any means, such as making statements or offers of proof or asking questions in the hearing of the jury.” Further,“[p]reliminary questions concerning the admissibility of evidence shall be determined by the court.”

  7. Morse v. San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District et al

    MOTION in Limine No. 4 to Exclude Matters Outside Deputy Chief Hartwig's Personal Knowledge

    Filed August 28, 2014

    Luce v. United States, 469 U.S. 38, 41 (1984). F.R.E. 103(c) dictates that “in jury cases, proceedings shall be conducted, to the extent practicable, so as to prevent inadmissible evidence from being suggested to the jury by any means, such as making statements or offers of proof or asking questions in the hearing of the jury.” Further,“[p]reliminary questions concerning the admissibility of evidence shall be determined by the court.”

  8. ReedHycalog UK, Ltd. et al v. Diamond Innovations Inc

    RESPONSE to Motion re Opposed MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD

    Filed August 6, 2010

    Evidentiary Rule 103 – which governs the practice in this Court – provides that a party must make an offer of proof “[i]n case the ruling is one excluding evidence.” FED. R. EVID. 103(a)(2). Finally, from a policy perspective, it certainly should not be the practice of this Court to allow a party to proactively expand the trial evidentiary record, premised solely on a broad- sweeping appellate rule – App. Rule 10(a) – that is retrospective in its purpose of defining the record.

  9. USA v. Springer et al

    MOTION in Limine

    Filed September 21, 2009

    As indicated previously, irrelevant evidence is inadmissible and therefore should be excluded from trial. Fed. R. Evid. 103(c) and 402. H. If the Defendants Interject Any of These Issues into the Trial in the Jury's Presence, the Court Should Immediately Give a Limiting Instruction If any of the above "evidence" or argument is interjected into the proceedings, the Court should immediately give the jury a limiting instruction.

  10. Scott v. Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation et al

    REPLY BRIEF re MOTION to Strike 105 Deposition,,,,,,, 106 Deposition,, 104 Notice

    Filed October 6, 2016

    21, 2011)(considering motion to strike as a notice of objection); Carroll v. Tavern Corp., Nos. 1:08- CV-2514-TWT-JFK, 1:08-CV-2554-TWT-JFK, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 30126, at *44-45 (N.D. Ga. Feb. 9, 2011) (denying motion to strike but considering motion as objections); Chavez v. Credit Nation Auto Sales, Inc., No 1:13-cv-00312-WSD-JCF, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 117020, *8-9 (N.D. Ga. Apr. 29, 2013). Second, this District has held that the plain language of Federal Rule of Evidence 103(a) implicitly recognizes that a motion to strike evidence is procedurally proper. Corey Airport Servs., Inc. v. City of Atlanta, 632 F.Supp.2d 1246, 1267-68 (N.D. Ga. 2008).
