OPINION ORDER

ANDREW J. PECK, United States Magistrate Judge.

Defendants' "motion in limine to introduce at trial the closing memorandum from the Civilian Complaint Review Board investigation into the within incident" is DENIED, and the Court precludes introduction of Defense Exhibit J, pursuant to Rule 403 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, and Judge Cote's decision in Morales v. City of New York, 99 Civ. 10004, 2001 WL 8594 at *6 n. 4 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 2, 2001) ("[A]dmission of the [CCRB] Memorandum would confuse the jury by offering conclusions regarding the factual issues the jury was to determine, and prolong the proceedings by putting into issue the details of the investigation supporting the findings, and [the Court held] that these risks substantially outweighed the probative value of the [CCRB] Memorandum.").

SO ORDERED.
