Case: Individual Employment Rights/Whistleblowing (C.D. Cal.)

A California federal district court denied in part Skye Bioscience, Inc.'s motions in limine in a securities whistleblower retaliation case brought by a former employee, allowing her to present evidence of her “pump-and-dump” scheme theory, testimony from a key witness with criminal convictions related to securities violations, and evidence of alleged executive misconduct, while limiting certain evidence about prior lawsuits and barring evidence of sexual comments, finding these evidentiary rulings necessary to allow the employee to properly present her whistleblower retaliation claims at trial.
