(Doc. 101)

JENNIFER L. THURSTON, Magistrate Judge.

RECITALS

WHEREAS the Parties filed Motions in Limine on or about December 8, 2017;

WHEREAS, on January 11, 2018, the Court issued an Order Amending the Case Schedule and the Pretrial Order and where such Order directed the parties to meet and confer to determine whether the issues could be resolved without need to file the motion; and

WHEREAS, the Parties met and conferred and determined that certain issues raised by the Defendants in their Motions in Limine were not in dispute;

STIPULATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the Parties hereto, through their respective attorneys of record, that:

1. The Parties agree that no Party will introduce, reference, or allude to other police misconduct including, but not limited to, the Ferguson case, the Tamir Rice case, the Silva case, the Ramirez case, the Gonzalez-Chavez case, or even the recent news involving former officers Damacio Diaz and Patrick Mara;

2. Non-Party Witnesses will be excluded from the Courtroom;

3. No Party will make any "Golden Rule Argument".

4. The Parties enter into this stipulation with the understanding that any party is free to argue at trial that the door has been opened with respect to any of the above categories. In such a situation, that party must raise the issue outside the presence of the jury and seek the Court's permission to depart from this Stipulation.

IT IS SO ORDERED THAT:

1. No Party will introduce, reference, or allude to other police misconduct including, but not limited to the Ferguson case, the Tamir Rice case, the Silva case, the Ramirez case, the Gonzalez-Chavez case, or even the recent news involving former officers Damacio Diaz and Patrick Mara;

2. Non-Party Witnesses will be excluded from the Courtroom;

3. No Party will make any "Golden Rule Argument".

4. In the event a Party feels that the door has been opened with regard to any of the above categories, that Party will raise the issue outside of the presence of the jury and seek the Court's permission to depart from this Order.

Based on the foregoing, it is unnecessary for the Court to rule further on Defendants' Motions in Limine Nos. 6, 10, and 14.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
