Sample Letter for Motion in Liming — Noticmotionio— - Los Angeles California [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Judge's Courtroom] [Court's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Re: [Case Name, Case Number] Dear Judge [Judge's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a motion in liming that I intend to file for the upcoming trial in the above-mentioned case. I respectfully request that the court consider this motion and rule accordingly. As per the California Code of Civil Procedure, I am providing this written notice at least 30 days before the trial date. Nature of the Motion: I believe that it is crucial to the fairness and integrity of the trial proceedings that the following matters be addressed prior to the commencement of the trial: 1. Motion to Exclude Hearsay Evidence: I request that the court exclude any statements made outside of court that are being offered for the truth of the matter asserted as hearsay evidence. This includes any statements made by witnesses not present in court, as well as statements made through documents or third parties. Hearsay evidence can potentially undermine the reliability and accuracy of the trial proceedings. 2. Motion to Exclude Expert Testimony: I request that the court exclude any expert testimony that is not reliable, relevant, or based on proper scientific methods. Expert testimony should be subject to scrutiny and meet the Dauber standard to ensure its reliability and validity. 3. Motion to Exclude Prior Bad Acts Evidence: I request that the court exclude any evidence of the defendant's prior bad acts that are not directly relevant to the current case. It is essential to prevent prejudice and undue influence on the jurors by limiting the introduction of such evidence, as it may cloud their judgment and divert their attention from the facts of the case. 4. Motion to Exclude Witnesses' Opinions: I request that the court exclude any non-expert witnesses from offering opinions or conclusions beyond the scope of their personal knowledge. Witness testimony should be limited to facts observed or experienced directly by the witness to avoid confusion and speculative testimony. Conclusion: In the interest of ensuring a fair and just trial, I kindly ask the court to grant this motion in liming and exclude the aforementioned evidence. I firmly believe that by limiting the scope of evidence and laying ground rules for the trial, the court can ensure a more accurate and unbiased verdict. Thank you for your time and consideration. I believe that this motion in liming will help simplify the trial proceedings and contribute to a fair outcome. I look forward to your ruling. Sincerely, [Your Name]
