Lokietz v. Wang CA2/4
Appellant Shelly Lokietz sued respondent Jeffrey C. Wang, M.D., for professional negligence, intentional misrepresentation, concealment, and negligent misrepresentation following a spinal surgery. Lokietz alleged that Wang did not successfully decompress her spinal cord during the surgery, and later misrepresented to Lokietz that the surgery had been successful. In a motion in limine, Wang sought to exclude evidence of other patients’ allegations against him from unrelated lawsuits. Lokietz opposed the motion, asserting that the other patients’ allegations of misrepresentation were similar to Lokietz’s, so the evidence was relevant to a pattern of deceptive conduct and therefore admissible.
