MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order. Cottrel's Rule 60(b) motion 192 is denied. In light of the Seventh Circuit's opinion in Ruppell v. CBS Corp., 701 F.3d 1176 (7th Cir. 2012), plaintiff Yasser Assaf must put on sufficient evidence at trial to carry his burden under the risk-utility test. Assaf's failure to put on such evidence will result in the granting of a motion for judgment as a matter of law against him. The parties are again encouraged to discuss settlement, taking into account Ruppell's clarification of the law applicable in this case. Hearing date of 3/28/13 at 9:00 a.m. remains. Signed by the Honorable James F. Holderman on 3/27/13. Notice mailed by judge's staff (ntf, )
