Some Judges allow it and some Judges do not.

I agree with Mr. Selik, and would add that what the judge will allow will be strongly influenced by whether it appears you are springing something on the other side to deny them a chance to prepare a response, or if you are just amplifying or providing additional support for something that the other side was on notice would be in issue.
