This court's ruling as to the copyright claim rend ers moot Kadowaki's motion seeking to restrict damages relating to that claim, as well as Frost- Tsuji's motion to continue Kadowaki's motion. This order thus also disposes of ECF Nos. 140, 150, 152, 153, 157, 159, and 215."

Any future motion to amend the complaint must take into account the rulings already entered in this case."
