Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Judge's Designation] [Name of the Court] [Court's Address] [City, State, ZIP] RE: Motion in Liming — Notice of Motion Dear Honorable [Judge's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring forth a Motion in Liming for an upcoming trial at [Name of the Court]. As counsel for [Your Client's Name], I seek the Court's permission to exclude certain evidence or testimony that we believe to be prejudicial or irrelevant to the merits of the case. Houston, Texas is a sprawling city known for its vibrant culture, diverse population, and robust economy. It stands as the fourth most populous city in the United States, making it a hub of activity across various industries. As such, legal matters raised in Houston courts warrant thorough scrutiny to ensure a fair and just trial. In support of our Motion in Liming, we have identified [number] distinct grounds upon which we request the Court's consideration. These grounds include: 1. Relevance: The evidence or testimony, as proposed by [Opposing Party's Name], does not directly relate to the issues at hand or is tangentially related at best. It lacks probative value and, if admitted, may unduly confuse or mislead the jury, compromising the integrity of the trial. 2. Prejudice: The evidence or testimony, if presented, could potentially evoke an emotional response or bias from the jurors. The prejudicial effect would outweigh any probative value it may have, resulting in an unfair disadvantage to our client and an unjust outcome. 3. Hearsay: We anticipate that [Opposing Party's Name] may attempt to introduce statements that are hearsay, thus not meeting the legal requirements for admissibility. Since these statements lack reliability and authenticity, their use as evidence should be barred. 4. Character Evidence: We object to the introduction of any character evidence intended to discredit our client without its direct relevance to the issues presented in this case. This type of evidence often leads to unfair prejudice and is inadmissible under the relevant rules of evidence. In light of the above, we respectfully request the Court's favorable ruling to exclude the evidence and testimony mentioned in our Motion in Liming. We firmly believe that the exclusion of this material will allow a fair and impartial trial, ensuring that justice is served. Enclosed with this letter, please find a copy of the Motion in Liming, along with any supporting documentation and relevant legal citations for your review. Additionally, we would kindly request a hearing to present oral arguments in support of this motion on a convenient date and time designated by the Court. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. We trust that your wisdom and judiciousness will guide you in making the appropriate decision for this case. Should you require any further information or clarification, I am available at your convenience. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm's Name] [Your Law Firm's Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] Enclosure: Motion in Liming.
