See Order 9/5/06, docket entry #369 , ("no motion to reconsider (or otherwise to revisit an issue that has been ruled upon) may be filed unless it meets the Seventh Circuit's standards for reconsideration"); (2) as stated in open court, Caterpillar's oral motion for permission to submit an oversized brief in support of its anticipated motion for judgment as a matter of law is granted; and (3) as the court understands it, Caterpillar's offer of proof to preserve for appeal its objection to the exclusion of certain portions of John Felten?s testimony, docket entry #366 , does not seek any specific relief from the court.

September 5, 2006 Filing 369 MINUTE entry before Judge Joan B. Gottschall : The court issues this order to address the many motions for reconsideration, and other similarly styled motions, which have been filed in this case and have asked the court to revisit issues and rulings that already have been decided. In light of the substantial resources that the court presently is devoting to this litigation, such motions are an unacceptable burden. Henceforth, no motion to reconsider (or otherwise to revisit an issue that has been ruled upon) may be filed unless it meets the Seventh Circuit's standards for reconsideration. Any such motion must specify the precise issue involved, and must direct the court to authority directly on point. Any motion to reconsider that fails to adhere to these guidelines will be summarily denied. It goes without saying that raising some issues in an initial brief and then seeking to raise other issues in a motion for reconsideration is improper. No more do-overs will be allowed. (vkd, )

Gottschall : Defendant Caterpillar has filed a motion seeking clarification or reconsideration of two rulings regarding John Felten's deposition designations #357 . Having considered Caterpillar's additional briefing, the court rules as follows: (1) the court's order of 8/25/06 indeed overruled Caterpillar's objections to the HotSamba fairness designations at pages 75, 83 and 84. The court will not disturb its ruling; and (2) the court denies Caterpillar's request that the court reconsider its ruling sustaining HotSamba's objections to Caterpillar's designations on pages 58-60 of Mr. Felten's deposition. (vmj, )
September 1, 2006 Filing 365 MINUTE entry before Judge Joan B. Gottschall : For the reasons stated in open court: (1) Caterpillar's motion to present the testimony of Steven Minisini by deposition #345 is granted; (2) PX 102 is inadmissible; and (3) with respect to Caterpillar's motion to bar or limit the use of Eden Chan's 902(11) declaration #350 , the court rules that the declaration may be used only for the purpose specified in Rule 902(11), to establish that PX 251 is admissible as a business record.

January 23, 2003 Filing 63 MINUTE ORDER of 1/23/03 by Hon. Joan B. Gottschall : Plaintiff's motion to amend the complaint [19-1], and for joinder in Technologies as a defendant [19-2] is granted. Plaintiff has by far the better of this argument. While there will undoubtedly be individual issues and evidence relating, respectively, to Caterpillar and i2 Technologies, plaintiff's claimed right to relief against them arises out of the same transaction and, as the proposed amended complaint makes clear, there will be substantial common issues and evidence as well. Having two actions that overlap so substantially go forward serarately would cause enormous waste and infeffciency. Nor is there any reason to deny leave to amend under Rule 15. The court does not read plaintiff's counsel's letter as a concession of anything, and the motion for leave to amend came early enough in this litigation that none of the reasons for denial set forth in Rule 15 are seriously implicated.
