2. The Motion is GRANTED insofar as Plaintiff will be precluded from offering evidence that MassMutual interfered with Plaintiffs prospective contractual relations.

3. The Motion is GRANTED IN PART insofar as Plaintiffs damages expert's report and testimony will not be admitted unless and until there is sufficient evidence in the trial record to provide a factual basis for the expert's damages analysis and its underlying assumptions.

5. The Motion is GRANTED insofar as Plaintiff will be precluded from presenting evidence concerning an "eggshell skull" theory of alleged emotional distress damages.
