Motion in Limine - A motion made by counsel requesting that information which might be prejudicial not be allowed to be heard in a case.

I THINK to "stop or preclude" statements from being made or stopping testimony. At least in a court setting.

In civil and in criminal proceedings.

"in limine" is Latin for "on the threshold." An in limine motion is any motion brought before trial.
