Entry Regarding Motion Page 10 of 11
24-CV-04273 Juliet Stephens v. Shannon Gilmour
Third, the mistake appears to be mutual as Defendant has filed at least two exhibits (BB and AI,
page 11) that fail to redact M.G.’s name.
For these reasons, the Court Denies Defendant’s motion for sanctions as it has largely
become moot with the corrective filings. The Court will seal the original unredacted filings.
ORDER
Based on the foregoing, the Court has ruled on the pending motions as follows:
1) The motion to allow jurors to submit questions is Granted (Motion #22).
2) The motion to allow a support person for M.G. is Moot as the relief sought does not require
Court approval (Motion #23).
3) The motion for accommodation for M.G. is Granted in Part as to requests 1 and 2 and
Denied as to requests (3) and (4). Request (5) is Deferred until trial. (Motion #24).
4) Plaintiff’s first motion in limine is Granted in part in regard to Attorney Safar’s testimony
and any testimony regarding the inclusion of M.G. as a party and service of the complaint on
her. It is Denied in part in regard to any request to outright bar M.G.’s testimony. (Motion
#25).
5) Plaintiff’s second motion in limine regarding her mental health history is Granted. (Motion
# 26).
6) Defendant’s motion to allow evidence of retaliatory conduct is Denied in regard to
Categories (B) and (C) as both are inadmissible under V.R.E. 402 and 602. The Court
declines to make any pre-trial ruling as to the admissibility of the facts under Category (A) or
the documents in Category (D) without testimony and foundation, but it notes that
duplicates are addressed under V.R.E. 1003. (Motion #27).
7) Defendant’s motion to file M.G.’s medical records under seal is Granted in part as the
Court will keep the records under seal, but the Court has concerns about the admissibility
and relevance of these records in light of the remaining claims. As such, the parties shall
address these exhibits with the Court at the pre-trial conference on October 27th. (Motion
#28)
8) Defendant’s Motion to Enforce is Denied as Moot in light of the redacted exhibits. The
Court will put the originals under seal, and Defendant may file redacted versions of Exhibits
BB and AI at which time the Court will put the originals under seal.
