UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI ABERDEEN DIVISION KMART CORPORATION, Plaintiff CIV. ACT. NO. 1:11-CV-103-GHD-DAS versus THE KROGER CO., et al. Defendants _____________________________________________________________________________________________
MOTION IN LIMINE TO EXCLUDE EVIDENCE Plaintiff, Kmart Corporation, files this Motion in Limine to exclude an unsigned letter dated September 25, 2010 as being not properly authenticated and as constituting inadmissible hearsay. During the corporate deposition of Kmart, Kansas City Southern Railway’s counsel questioned Kmart’s corporate representative with an unsigned letter on Sears Holdings’ letterhead purporting to be addressed to a store associate whose name was redacted from the letter.
While unsigned and containing certain redactions, the letter also contains certain
handwriting that has not been authenticated by any party. This letter should be stricken, however, because it has not been properly authenticated and constitutes inadmissible hearsay. In support of this motion, Kmart submits the following exhibits: Exhibit 1: Letter dated September 25, 2010 Exhibit 2: Excerpts of the Corporate Deposition Transcript of Kmart Exhibit 3: Excerpts of the Corporate Deposition Transcript of Fulton Improvements Dated: January 20, 2014
