MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
We rule on plaintiffs motions as follows:
1. Plaintiffs motion to use civilian complaints as evidence of patterns of conduct is denied, and defendants' corresponding motion to restrict their use is granted.
2. His motion to exclude certain testimony of Dr. Goldberg is denied.
3. His motion to exclude his prior drug convictions is denied. They are appropriate impeachment of plaintiff and, two, provide a basis for asserting bias. They cannot, of course, be used as a basis for any argument that they support the notion that plaintiff was more likely to have possessed drugs on the day in question, and plaintiff is entitled to a limiting instruction.
