March 5, 2012 Filing 248 TEXT ORDER. Plaintiff Michael Spreadbury moves in limine to preclude the Defendants City of Hamilton, Bitterroot Public Library, and the individual defendants from presenting the opinion testimony of the following three individuals identified by the Defendants as liability expert witnesses: (1)Trista Smith - opinion testimony regarding application of American Library Association standards: (2)Kenneth Bell - opinion testimony regarding trespass upon public property; and (3)Ryan Oster - opinion testimony regarding whether p probable cause existed to arrest Spreadbury for criminal trespass and intimidation. Spreadbury argues, in general, that these individuals lack any specialized knowledge - gained through education, training, or experience - that makes them qualified to render reliable opinion testimony upon the issues in this case under Fed.R.Evid. 702. The issues of whether the opinion testimony the Defendants intend to elicit from these individuals satisfy the requirements of Rule 702, and otherwise do not invade the province of the Court in instructing the jury on the law applicable to this case, are best decided in the context of trial. Therefore. the Court deems it appropriate to DENY Spreadbury's motion at this juncture, subject to his right to renew all aspects of his motion at the time of trial as appropriate.

But the Court deems it appropriate to Grant the motion to the extent it requests the Court to delete Boone Karlberg P.C. from the caption of any documents, i.e. instructions to the jury and verdict form, that may be presented to the jury.

March 5, 2012 Filing 244 TEXT ORDER.

The gist of Lee Enterprises' motion is that the Court allow Lee Enterprises access to the materials produced in response to the referenced subpoenas - subject to the protective proscriptions detailed in the December 13, 2011 order. Spreadbury resists Lee Enterprises attempt to access his personal information. For the reasons discussed in the December 13, 2011 order, Lee Enterprises is entitled to discovery of the materials produced in response to the referenced subpoenas because those materials contain information pertaining to Spreadbury's health, education, and past employment - information that is relevant to the claims for damages Spreadbury has advanced against Lee Enterprises.
