J. Crone grants in part the opposing motions to exclude expert testimony in an employment discrimination case alleging ADA violations when a welder's conditional job offer was revoked due to the presence of methadone and Xanax in his drug screen. For instance, the expert for the employer parties may not testify about the welder's "possible diversion of his medication" since it is not relevant and is prejudicial. Also, certain statements in the report of the EEOC's rebuttal expert should be stricken for being "impermissible legal conclusions."

J. Crone grants authorization to the worker to use alternative service for his personal injury suit against the vessel owner, which is a citizen of Mexico. The worker's attempts at traditional service through the Hague Convention have been unsuccessful, so he may email the complaint to the specified email addresses used in previous attempts at informal service because none of those emails "bounced back." Also, the worker should use service by publication in Spanish in the newspaper El Norte, since this would likely reach the owner.
