In limine motions, does the appellant need to identify the body of evidence underlying the claim he seeks to raise on appeal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Walker, A151650 (Cal. App. 2019):

In short, appellant's in limine motions neither identified the body of evidence underlying the claim he seeks to raise on appeal nor gave the court an opportunity to "determine the evidentiary question in its appropriate context." (People v. Whisenhunt, supra, 44 Cal.4th at pp. 210-211.)
