MEMORANDUM ORDER OF COURT 
 
 
Defendant filed Daubert motions to exclude Plaintiff’s expert Alan J. Bronstein in Mr. 
Heyliger’s case (ECF No. 59) and in Mr. Richards’ case. (ECF No. 40).  On December 15, 2011, 
this Court held a Daubert hearing.  At the hearing, I ruled on all of Defendant’s arguments with 
the exception of lost fringe benefits.  To that end, I permitted counsel to file supplemental 
briefing.  The issue is now ripe for review. 
 
Upon consideration of the above, I find that while the Bureau of Labor Statistics may not 
be the  best method to calculate lost fringe benefits, it is not arbitrary.  See, Weirich v. Horst

Realty Co., LLC, No. 07-cv-871, 2009 WL 920960 (E.D. Pa. March 30, 2011).  As a result, I find 
the objection goes to weight rather than admissibility.  Defendant can deal with any issues on 
cross examination.   
THEREFORE, this 19th day of December, 2011, it is ordered that Defendant’s Motions in 
Limine to Exclude Testimony of Alan J. Bronstein (in Mr. Heyliger’s case No. 59 and in Mr. 
Richards’ case No. 40) are denied.
