United States First Circuit

A $2,000 sanction imposed upon defendant's attorney and defendant for filing motions in limine immediately before defendant's anticipated retrial is reversed, where nothing in the Local Rules for the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, or the docket in this case, notified defense counsel of the district court's deadline, or that sanctions might flow from filing the motions when he did.
