`
`side-bar, pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 608. . . .[t]he Court will examine

`
`documents to set forth the substance or parameters of Ding’s work at his former
`
`employer or reference the circumstances of his termination. Defendants’ use of these
`
`documents is strictly confined to Georgia-Pacific factor 9. To the extent these
