20-CV-1874 Leibfried v. Caterpillar, Inc.

Decision and Order

An expert cannot offer new opinions at a deposition or in an affidavit submitted in response to a motion to exclude. An expert’s opinions must be included in an expert report. A psychologist’s recollection of what his patients told him about the emotions they felt in the moments when they believed they were about to die is not a sufficient basis for the psychologist to offer an opinion about what the plaintiff felt in the minutes before he died.

The court rejected the claim, noting that the deliberative process privilege protects policy deliberations and not ordinary personnel matters of an agency.
