J. Mendez-Miro grants the hospital and doctors' motion to exclude the testimony of one expert, but denies their motion to exclude another's testimony and a supplement to a motion in limine. The first expert, a neurologist, came to broad conclusions about the standard of care that do not rest on reliable scientific methodologies or grounds. The hospital and doctors' contentions that the second, testifying as a Life Care Planner, engaged in unsupported speculation are not sufficient reason to exclude his testimony. The supplement, finally, does not include any new theories or evidence surprising to the hospital or doctors, and is harmless.

J. Mendez-Miro grants the nonparties' motions to quash the employer's two subpoenas seeking testimony and documents related to the formation of the business the employee co-founded after she was terminated by the employer, allegedly because of her pregnancy. The employer's subpoenas do not include the text of two relevant rules as required under those rules, and the information they seek has not yet been sought from the employee herself, who could potentially provide it in a less burdensome way. The subpoenas issued to a bank also seek information beyond the employee's financial information and, therefore, are irrelevant.
