NO. 02-49214 CIVIL TERM
IN RE: PRETRIAL CONFERENCE
A pretrial conference was held before the ~--~~
Honorable Edward E. Guido, Judge, on Wednesday, April ;;3
2004. Present for the Plaintiff was Albert J.
Esquire, and present for the Defendant was W.
Esquire.
Darreh' Po~Ai~ ~S
This is a rear end collision in which both
liability and damages are at issue. Defendant does,
however, indicate that liability may be admitted, or if not
liability, negligence admitted and causation placed in
issue.
There are no scheduling coflicts. The parties
estimate that the case will take two to three days to try.
Several legal issues were raised in the pretrial
statements. The parties are directed to bring these issues
to the attention of the trial judge and any other issues
they wish to raise in the form of motions in limine. All
such motions in limine, together with supporting authority,
shall be filed by April 23, 2004. Any responses, with
supporting authority, shall be filed by April 30, 2004. The
motions and responses shall be filed with the court
administrator who shall then forward them to the trial
judge ·
The parties appear to be worlds apart in their
negotiations; therefore, settlement is not likely. By the Court,
