Filing 692
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: In-person hearing held on November 9, 2022. The Court discussed the lay of the land. The Court previously set a briefing schedule on Plaintiff's Motion for Prejudgment Interest. (Dckt. No. #680 ) at (Dckt. No. #685 ). As discussed at the hearing, the Court sets the following briefing schedule on Defendants' three pending motions, meaning (1) Defendants' Joint Rule 50(b) Renewed Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law (Dckt. No. #681 ), (2) Defendants' Rule 59(e) Motion for Remittitur of Punitive Damages (Dckt. No. #682 ), and (3) Defendants' Motion for a New Trial (Dckt. No. #683 ). Plaintiff's response is due by December 21, 2022. Defendants' reply is due February 1, 2023. For the reasons explained at the hearing, Plaintiff's response to Defendants' Motion for a New Trial (Dckt. No. #683 ) should be limited to Section I. The Court will take the rest of that motion under advisement, and will require a response through separate order if the Court deems it necessary. If Defendants believe that Sections II - IV of that motion contain any new arguments (meaning something that this Court has not already ruled upon, or something that involves new precedent), then this Court invites Defendants to file a short statement and flag it by the end of next week. Plaintiff's unopposed request to extend the time to file their fee petition to January 6, 2023 is granted. Mailed notice. (pk, )

ENTERED JUDGMENT on 9/30/2022. Mailed notice. (jjr, )
|
|
Filing 674
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: On August 25, 2022, this Court denied Defendants' motion for judgment as a matter of law (Dckt. No. #671 ), and directed the parties to address how to handle the remaining claims, meaning the claims not covered at the trial. (Dckt. No. #672 ) In response, the parties agreed that judgment should be entered in favor of Plaintiff and against the City of Chicago on Count IX (respondeat superior) and Count X (indemnification). (Dckt. No. #673 ) Plaintiff also moved to voluntarily dismiss the Monell claim (Count IV). Count IV is hereby dismissed. In the joint submission, Defendants quite correctly pointed out that this Court cited the wrong provision of Rule 50 when it denied Defendants' motion for judgment as a matter of law on August 25, 2022. See 8/25/22 Mem. Opin. & Order, at 8 (Dckt. No. 671) (citing Rule 50(b)). Defendants orally moved for judgment as a matter of law at the close of Plaintiffs' case, and then orally renewed that motion shortly before closing arguments. See Defs.' Mem. in Support of their Mtn. for Directed Verdict (Dckt. No. 587) (supporting Defendants' oral motion for judgment as a matter of law, and invoking Rule 50(a), not Rule 50(b)); 10/27/21 Tr., at 3979 (Dckt. No. 656) (reflecting the oral renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law, shortly before closing arguments). The oral motion came before the case went to the jury, so it was a motion under Rule 50(a), not Rule 50(b). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 50(a)(2) (allowing a motion for judgment as a matter of law "at any time before the case is submitted to the jury"). This Court then allowed the parties to brief that motion in the months that followed. But that generous briefing schedule did not change the essential character of the motion. It was a pre-jury-deliberation motion, not a post-verdict motion, so it was a motion under Rule 50(a), not Rule 50(b). The motion could not have been a motion under Rule 50(b), because a motion under Rule 50(b) comes after, not before, a jury verdict. Holding onto a Rule 50(a) motion, and keeping it in the Court's back pocket until the jury returns a verdict, does not convert it to a Rule 50(b) motion. It is still a pre-verdict motion. See Unitherm Food Sys., Inc. v. Swift-Eckrich, Inc., 546 U.S. 394, 399-400 (2006) ("Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50 sets forth the procedural requirements for challenging the sufficiency of the evidence in a civil jury trial and establishes two stages for such challenges - prior to submission of the case to the jury, and after the verdict and entry of judgment. Rule 50(a) allows a party to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence prior to submission of the case to the jury, and authorizes the district court to grant such motions at the court's discretion.... Rule 50(b), by contrast, sets forth the procedural requirements for renewing a sufficiency of the evidence challenge after the jury verdict and entry of judgment."); 9B Charles Alan Wright et al., Federal Practice and Procedure 2537 (3d ed. 2022) ("Either party may make a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law during the trial, which technically is a Rule 50(a) motion, or after trial, which will be made under Rule 50(b).") (emphasis added); see also id. 2521 ("Rule 50(a) provides for a motion for judgment as a matter of law, a motion that may be made at any time before submission of the case to the jury."); Holder v. Illinois Dep't of Corr., 751 F.3d 486, 491-92 (7th Cir. 2014). The Court acknowledges the error and regrets creating any confusion. (This Court wants to get things right, so the Court genuinely appreciates the correction.) The bottom line is that Defendants moved for judgment as a matter of law under Rule 50(a), not 50(b), and this Court's errant citation does not change that basic reality. The substantive standard under Rule 50(a) is the same as the standard under Rule 50(b). See 9B Charles Alan Wright et al., Federal Practice and Procedure 2524 (3d ed. 2022) ("It equally is settled by a myriad of judicial decisions that the standard in passing on that question is the same whether it arises in the procedural context of a motion for judgment as a matter of law prior to the submission of the case to the jury under Rule 50(a) or in the context of a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law after the jury has returned a verdict under Rule 50(b)."); Baugh v. Cuprum S.A. De C.V., 2015 WL 9304338, at *2 n.2 (N.D. Ill. 2015) ("The same standard governs both types of Rule 50 motions."). Either way, the question is the sufficiency of the evidence. The substantive outcome does not change. The result is the same. The Court hereby amends its prior order as follows. This Court denies Defendants' motion for judgment as a matter of law under Rule 50(a). Judgment Order to follow. The case is closed. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Joint STATEMENT by Eddie L. Bolden Regarding Remaining Claims (Litoff, Eli)
|
|
Filing 672
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's complaint contains ten counts. See Fourth Am. Cplt. (Dckt. No. #391 ). On October 29, 2021, a jury returned a verdict for Plaintiff and against Defendants Pesavento, Oliver, and the estates of Karl and Siwek on seven of those counts. Specifically, the jury found in favor of Bolden and against all four Defendant Officers on Counts I, II, III, V, VI, VII, and VIII. See 10/29/21 Order (Dckt. No. #615 ). The Court has denied Defendants' motion for judgment as a matter of law on those claims. See 8/25/22 Mem. Opin. and Order (Dckt. No. #671 ). But three counts remain, all against the City of Chicago: (1) a Monell claim (Count IV); (2) respondeat superior (Count IX); and (3) indemnification (Count X). Judge Shah, this Court's predecessor, previously bifurcated and stayed the Monell claim while the claims against individual Defendants went forward. See 7/19/18 Order (Dckt. No. #213 ). The parties must meet and confer, and must file a statement by September 2, 2022 about how they plan to proceed on the remaining claims. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 612
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Defendant Officers' motion to allow Cynthia Steward to testify about Irving Clayton's statements of Plaintiff's involvement in the narcotics operations of Anthony Williams (Dckt. No. #571 ) is hereby denied, for the reasons stated on the record on October 26, 2021. Defendants sought to offer Steward to testify about an out-of-court statement by Irving Clayton, who is deceased. In her deposition, Steward basically testified that she heard Clayton say that Bolden would accept receipt of drugs if Anthony Williams wasn't there. See Steward Dep., at 60 (Dckt. No. [571-2]). That out-of-court statement is hearsay if it is offered for its truth. Here, the statement is hearsay because Defendants want to offer it to show that Bolden really did deal drugs, so the statement is offered for its truth. Clayton is unavailable (because he is deceased), but the statement against interest exception does not apply. See Fed. R. Evid. 804(b)(3)(A) ("Statement Against Interest. A statement that: (A) a reasonable person in the declarant's position would have made only if the person believed it to be true because, when made, it was so contrary to the declarant's proprietary or pecuniary interest or had so great a tendency to invalidate the declarant's claim against someone else or to expose the declarant to civil or criminal liability...."). The exception for statements against interest exists for a simple reason. People are self interested, and most of us do not lightly say things against our self interest. So, if a person makes a statement against his or her own interest, it has a special indicia of reliability. An out-of-court statement by Person A about Person A is probably true if the statement was against his or her own interest. But that rationale does not apply to a statement about others. An out-of-court statement by Person A about Person B has no special indicia of reliability. (It's human nature to speak ill of others. But against one's own self? Not so much.) So, imagine if Schemp sued Curly. And then imagine that Curly wanted to call Moe to testify that (unavailable) Larry made an out-of-court statement that he broke a vase with Schemp. Larry's statement that "I broke a vase with Schemp" is a statement against Larry's interest, up to a point. The first part of Larry's sentence ("I broke a vase") is Larry's statement against Larry, and thus falls within the exception. But the latter half of the sentence ("with Schemp") is a statement about Schemp's conduct, not Larry's conduct. So Larry's out-of-court statement about Schemp's conduct is not a statement against Larry's interest, and thus to that extent does not fall within the exception. See Carson v. Peters, 42 F.3d 384, 386 (7th Cir. 1994) ("Portions of inculpatory statements that pose no risk to the declarants are not particularly reliable; they are just garden variety hearsay."). Here, Clayton's statement could fall within the exception to the extent that Clayton was making a statement against Clayton's own interest. But Defendants want to offer Clayton's statement as a statement against Bolden's interest. That is, Defendants want Steward to testify about Clayton's out-of-court statement to show that Bolden acted in a bad way, not to show that Clayton made a statement that was against Clayton's interests. (By way of illustration, if Clayton had simply said "I deal drugs," Defendants presumably wouldn't want to offer that into evidence.) The punchline is that the out-of-court statement by Clayton would fall within the exception to the extent it was Clayton's statement against Clayton's interest, but not Clayton's statement against Bolden's interest. (Why else would they offer it, except to offer a statement against Bolden? Clayton isn't here.) So, Clayton's out-of-court statement does not fall within the exception to the extent that it is against Bolden's interest, not Clayton's interest. Regardless, the statement is inadmissible for other reasons, too. First, to the extent Defendants wanted to introduce the evidence of past drug dealing to suggest Plaintiff was dealing drugs on the night in question, the statement is inadmissible propensity evidence under Rule 404(b)(1). Second, the statement has low probative value, too. The alleged drug dealing did not involve the two-kilo drug deal on the night in question. Third, any slight value is substantially outweighed by the risk of undue prejudice under Rule 403, as this Court already explained in its ruling on Plaintiff's motion in limine no. 5 (Dckt. No. #467 ). At trial, this Court allowed Defendants to ask questions and present evidence about whether Bolden participated in the drug deal in question (i.e., involving the two kilos of cocaine on the day of the double murder), but not evidence of any other drug dealing. The motion is denied for the reasons more fully stated on the record during trial. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 611
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff Bolden's motion to clarify the Court's ruling on the motion in limine to exclude FBI documents and reports (Dckt. No. #570 ), and Plaintiff's renewed motion in limine to preclude Defendants from introducing FBI documents and reports (Dckt. No. #582 ), are hereby granted as follows. During the hearing on October 25, 2021, this Court directed Defendants to make a proffer about the anticipated testimony of FBI agent Tipton. The Court did so after the parties had repeatedly briefed and discussed the admissibility of the FBI testimony and documents, and after this Court had addressed the issue in a prior order. See 10/6/21 Order (Dckt. No. #489 ). The Court wanted to give Defendants a final chance to address the issue, and give a preview about how they could lay the necessary foundation. Defendants filed certain documents in response to that directive on the evening of October 25, 2021. (Dckt. No. #580 ) On October 26, 2021, this Court and counsel questioned agent Tipton outside the presence of the jury. In response to that testimony, this Court substantially excluded his testimony for the reasons stated on the record. He lacked personal knowledge about the information provided by the (unknown) informant to the FBI, and he did not personally convey any of that information to any of the Defendant officers at the Chicago Police Department. He had no personal knowledge about whether anyone else at the FBI conveyed information about the informant's tip to the Chicago Police Department or the Defendant officers. In short, he had no personal knowledge about the issue at hand, because he did not communicate with the source or (more importantly) with the Defendants. Information gathered by the FBI is not relevant to the issues in this case unless it was shared with the Defendant officers, and Defendants made no such showing. The FBI documents in question also contain double hearsay, lack foundation, and do not pass muster under Rule 403. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

The other three notes were from jurors who asked that the Court notify their employers that they will miss work tomorrow. In the meantime, the Court is making arrangements for the jurors to resume deliberations in a different courtroom tomorrow morning. The Court will provide further information to the parties when it is available. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

|
Filing 573
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's motion for the Court to take judicial notice of facts relating to the malicious prosecution claim (Dckt. No. #536 ) is hereby granted in part. The Court took judicial notice of certain facts relating to Bolden's conviction, direct appeal, post-conviction petition, and Certificate of Innocence on October 22, 2021. The Court read a modified version of the facts into the record. The Court took judicial notice of some, but not all, of the facts proposed by Plaintiff. (Dckt. No. #536 ) The Court took judicial notice of the procedural history relating to Bolden's criminal case. For the reasons explained on the record, the Court did not take judicial notice of judicial commentary on the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence. It is sufficient to tell the jury that the Circuit Court of Cook County concluded that Bolden suffered prejudice, and that there was a reasonable probability that the outcome of the criminal trial would have been different but for the ineffective assistance of counsel. That fact, plus the Certificate of Innocence, is enough to inform the jury what took place, without creating the risk of undue prejudice from the jury placing disproportionate weight on judicial commentary about the evidence. That ruling is also a fair depiction of the ruling itself, meaning the decision by Judge Maldonado of the Circuit Court of Cook County on January 21, 2016. That Court concluded that Bolden had suffered prejudice, but did not include a detailed discussion of the strengths or weaknesses of the evidence as a whole. The penultimate paragraph stated that the case against Bolden was "far from overwhelming" and "slight," but the Circuit Court of Cook County expressly relied on the Appellate Court's discussion of that issue, without itself getting into the merits of the evidence of guilt or innocence. Overall, it is not necessary to tell the jury, in the case before this Court, about those two sentences of judicial commentary. Telling the jury the conclusion on the ineffective assistance of counsel claim, including the finding of prejudice but without getting into judicial commentary on the evidence, is enough. It paints an accurate picture of what took place, while avoiding a risk of undue prejudice that the jury will give outsized importance to a judge's view of the evidence. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Civility and zealous advocacy are not mutually exclusive. In fact, civility and effective advocacy tend to flow in the same direction. Uncivil briefs violate norms of the Court, and they tend to be ineffective, too. Defendants' motion to withdraw (Dckt. No. #541 ) is denied as moot. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 512
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: This Court reviewed Plaintiff's motion about the subpoenas that Defendants issued to Plaintiff's experts. On August 14, 2018, Judge Shah set a schedule for expert disclosures and discovery. (Dckt. No. #217 ) Expert discovery closed in 2019. Defendants recently served subpoenas to Plaintiff's experts, seeking a collection of documents. Expert discovery closed before this Court took the bench and received the case, so maybe there is some backstory that this Court does not know. For example, this Court does not know if Defendants ever served subpoenas to the experts during expert discovery, and if so, what came of them. The Court assumes that there was no side agreement at that time about deferring the exchange of documents until the start of trial. But that plan would be highly unusual. Absent some good explanation from Defendants, it appears that the subpoenas are untimely, by a longshot. The Court will take up this issue with the parties. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 511
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: On October 8, this Court issued an oral ruling on Plaintiff's motion to preclude Defendant Pesavento from testifying regarding the FBI informant tip (Dckt. No. #486 ). The motion is denied, for the reasons explained on the record. An anonymous tip may not be sufficient to create reasonable suspicion (let alone probable cause). But that principle does not mean that officers must ignore an anonymous tip, either. There is a difference between saying that an anonymous tip is insufficient, and saying that an anonymous tip can't be considered at all. This Court is not aware of any case law that stands for the proposition that an officer cannot consider an anonymous tip when making a probable cause determination. An anonymous tip may not be sufficient, but that does not mean that it is out of bounds. That said, if Defendants want to present evidence about an anonymous tip, then the Court will give an instruction to the jury, to avoid possible confusion. The jury needs to know that an anonymous tip is not enough to give rise to probable cause (even if it came from the FBI). Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 509
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court directs the parties to refile the 33-page revised statement about deposition designations (Dckt. No. #497 ), with a few changes. The filing contains a long table of designations and counter-designations. Headings appear at the top of each column, but only on page two. The headings do not appear on page three, or page four, or any of the dozens of pages that follow. That's not user-friendly, and forces the Court to flip back and forth to remember what each column refers to. So, the parties need to add a heading at the top of each column, on each page, and refile it. Also, the column on the left should include the name of the witness on each page. So, for example, if a reader looks only at page 26, the reader should be able to see which witness that page is covering. Also, the parties should clarify the last column, entitled "Objecting Party's Counter-Designations." The Court understands that column to cover testimony that the Defendants want to offer affirmatively to support their defenses. That is, the Court assumes that that column does not cover testimony that is necessary under the rule of completeness, as provided in Rule 32(a)(6). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 32(a)(6) (covering deposition testimony that "in fairness should be considered with the part introduced"). So, by the look of things, it appears that Defendants are not requesting that Plaintiff add any testimony under the rule of completeness. Instead, they simply want to offer some of the testimony for their own purposes. If that assumption is wrong, the parties must say so. And then, Defendants would need to differentiate between testimony that is covered by the rule of completeness, and testimony that they want to offer affirmatively to support their defenses. More generally, at the hearing this morning, the parties must be prepared to discuss submitting highlighted portions of the deposition designations, and counter-designations, so that the Court can readily see what each party proposes to designate. In general, parties should always strive to make things as user-friendly for the Court as possible. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C.

See Dckt. No. #488 . The Court does not know if any new information came out of those medical appointments. Defendants must file an update by 5:00 p.m. on October 9 if anything important happened during those medical appointments. Otherwise, the Court will assume that the medical appointments on October 7-8 did not materially change the lay of the land about Oliver's medical condition. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court confirmed that all members of the public, including family member of the parties, must watch the trial from the public viewing room (1342). Not from the courtroom itself. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 483
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court prohibits any fact witnesses from listening to the testimony of other witnesses during the trial. The only exception is a party (e.g., Plaintiff Bolden, or the Defendant Officers). This prohibition does not apply to experts. Counsel must not tell any fact witness about the substance of the testimony of any other fact witness. So, before taking the stand, a fact witness should not know what any other witness has said (again, excluding parties). Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 481
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: At the hearing this morning, this Court will provide counsel with courtesy copies of the juror questionnaires. The purpose of the advance copy is to get a jump on jury selection, so that counsel can have a sense about the jury pool before jury selection begins tomorrow. Counsel must return their copies of the questionnaires today (and they will receive them again tomorrow). The Court prohibits the parties and their counsel from taking the questionnaires outside the courtroom. Counsel can take notes (but not photos). Counsel cannot write down the contact information for any of the jurors. The Court prohibits the parties and their counsel (including any jury consultants) from doing any research about any of the jurors (e.g., a google search). Do not investigate the jurors. The only exception is suggesting potential follow-up questions for the Court to ask during voir dire. If you want information about a juror, ask the Court to elicit the information in open court. But do not research it yourself. That way, there will be a level playing field, and all of the parties will know the same information about the members of the jury. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 465
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Defendant Officer's Request for an In-Person Hearing for Clifford Frazier to Address the Mode of his Trial Testimony (Dckt. No. #456 ) is hereby denied. Clifford Frazier testified against Bolden at the criminal trial, and he is a central witness in this case, too. After receiving a trial subpoena from defense counsel in this case, Frazier responded that he has health issue (asthma, and pre-diabetes), and that he has suffered significant stress and anxiety from reliving the murders. Defendants asked for an accommodation so that Frazier could testify remotely by Zoom, but Plaintiff objected. The Court fully appreciates the fact that trials can be stressful (and the original trial was undoubtedly stressful for Bolden, too). But stress can play a role in the truth-seeking function of litigation (e.g., cross examination is stressful, by design). Testifying in person is part of our legal system's longstanding tradition. And for good reason. There is value in getting a witness into the courtroom (and outside of their comfort zone) for live, in-person testimony. There's no substitute for person-to-person cross examination, when everyone is in the same room. The atmosphere helps ferret out the truth. The jury needs to see and hear this witness, in person, to evaluate his credibility. Testimony via video feels artificial by comparison, and should be avoided absent compelling circumstances. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 43(a). And here, there are none. Frazier must testify in person, or not at all. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 464
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Defendants' motion for leave to depose for FBI special agent Dale Tipton and issue a subpoena to the FBI (Dckt. No. #423 ) is hereby denied. (As an aside, this Court does not know for certain if this motion is a live issue, now that Defendants have withdrawn a related motion about agent Tipton, but the Court assumes the issue is live.) Defendants point out that Plaintiff Bolden produced an affidavit from Tipton three months after the close of fact discovery, and before the parties had briefed the motions for summary judgment. Maybe so, but the chronology underscores that Defendants could have requested his deposition long ago if there was a legitimate need. Discovery closed in 2018. Defendants have had the redacted FBI reports since March 2018, and have had the Tipton affidavit since September 2018. If the affidavit prompted a need for a deposition, Defendants could have sought the deposition years ago. The same is true for the potential subpoena to the FBI. The FBI's role is not a surprise. If there was a legitimate need for any additional documents from the FBI, Defendants could have sought them years ago. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: This afternoon, the Court received information from the Clerk's Office about the timing of and logistics for the upcoming trial. The COVID testing and the completion of the juror questionnaire will take place on Tuesday, October 5. Trial will start on Thursday, October 7, 2021. Trial must end no later than Thursday, October 28. There is no flexibility on the back end, so the parties must prepare accordingly. Counsel must be prepared to discuss time estimates (and allocation between the parties) at the upcoming pretrial conference. Counsel must confer with each other before the pretrial conference about the time that they will realistically need. If any party foresees an issue, they must raise it at the conference so that this Court can craft a solution. Trial will take place in courtroom 1441. The public overflow room will be in room 1342. The Court can cover any related issues at the pretrial conference. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court calls the parties' attention to its Pretrial Order in Civil Cases, which is now posted on Judge Seeger's webpage. The Court acknowledges that it is posting this Standing Order less than two weeks before the due date for the final pretrial order in this case (it is due on September 6, which is Labor Day, so it is due on September 7). See 4/9/21 Order (Dckt. No. #428 ). The parties undoubtedly are far along in their preparations. Hopefully this Standing Order will not require the parties to make a bunch of unforeseen, last-minute changes. (The Court relied heavily on the Standing Orders adopted by other judges in this District.) If conforming to the Standing Order at this stage would impose an undue burden on the parties, they should let the Court know so that it can consider any adjustments for this particular case. The goal was to set guidelines for all of this Court's cases, not to throw a late-breaking wrench in the works in this particular case. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

It is a basic part of professional courtesy. And, from a self-interested perspective, what goes around comes around. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 428
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed the Joint Statement Regarding Trial Dates filed on March 9, 2021 (Dckt. No. #418 ), which requested that the Court set the jury trial for the first week of October. As requested, trial is hereby set for October 4, 2021 at 9:30 a.m., with a minor caveat. Under the Northern District's trial procedures adopted in 2020, a trial set to start in a particular week is subject to starting any day that week, based on how many other trials are taking place that week in the courthouse. Accordingly, the Court cannot guarantee an October 4, 2021 start date (as opposed to, say, October 5 or 6). But the trial will begin that week. The Court expects to know the actual start date approximately two weeks before the trial. The Court will reserve three weeks for the trial. The final pretrial order is due by September 6, 2021. The final pretrial conference will take place on September 27, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. The Court takes the motions in limine under advisement, and will issue rulings sufficiently in advance of trial to allow the parties to plan accordingly.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Status hearing held on March 5, 2021 by telephone. The Court and counsel discussed the need to set a new trial date. The Court previously denied the motions in limine without prejudice (Dckt. No. #411 ) for administrative purposes only. By March 12, 2021, the parties may file a motion to renew the previously-filed motions in limine. The Court expects to re-designate the previously-filed motions in limine as pending motions. Some motions in limine will define the scope of the trial more than others. The parties should indicate which motions will most assist the parties to prepare for trial. Any new motions in limine are due by March 31, 2021. Counsel must confer about trial availability and file a joint statement to the Court about possible trial dates. Defense counsel shall keep the Court and Plaintiffs' counsel apprised of any material changes in the health of any of the Defendants.

Filing 410
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's Motion for Information Regarding Health Conditions of Defendants Pesavento and Oliver (Dckt. No. #401 ) is granted in part and denied in part. On September 17, and again on September 28, 2020, this Court directed Defendants to provide their medical records to the Court for an in camera inspection. The Court promptly reviewed the medical records upon receipt. The Court determined that the medical conditions are not sufficiently serious (as far as the Court can tell) to warrant another deposition in the short term. Defendants shall promptly inform Plaintiff's counsel and the Court if their health situation changes in a material way. Defense counsel shall provide an update on Defendants' health (a high level of generality is acceptable) to Plaintiff's counsel by letter by December 15, 2020, and shall do so thereafter if there is a material change. The point is to let Plaintiff's counsel know if anything has changed. In the meantime, the Court rejects the notion in Plaintiff's submissions that there is a difference between a "discovery deposition" and an "evidence deposition." Rule 30 recognizes no such distinction. A deposition is a deposition. The possibility that a witness may not be available for trial is one of the reasons to depose a witness in the first place. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 32(a)(4). That said, in special circumstances, there may be a need to depose a witness a second time. But Plaintiff has filed no such motion. And a generalized desire to get better, cleaner testimony for trial doesn't cut it. The Court took note of the statement in Plaintiff's motion (Dckt. No. #406 ) that, as recently as August 2020, the parties seemingly agreed on the potential need to depose the Defendants a second time to preserve their testimony for trial. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 409
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's Motion to Set Trial Date (Dckt. No. #393 ) is denied without prejudice. As the parties are undoubtedly aware, civil trials in this District will not resume until mid-January, 2021, at the earliest. This Court is fully mindful of the need to reschedule this trial, especially in light of the nature of the case, and will prioritize this case when the time comes to schedule civil trials. When the Court has a better sense of when it can realistically reschedule the trial, the Court will set a hearing. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 405
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed Defendants' Response to Plaintiffs' Motion for Disclosure (Dckt. No. #404 ). On September 17, 2020, this Court ordered Defendants to submit their medical records to the Court for an in camera inspection. (Dckt. No. #403 ) Defendants did not comply. Instead, they filed a brief (which is fine), with no supporting medical information (which is not). This Court's Order couldn't have been a surprise. Defendants offered to provide information to the Court about their medical conditions over one month ago, in footnote one on page four of their filing on August 14, 2020. (Dckt. No. #399 ) Defendants represented to the Court that they have "serious underlying medical conditions." Id. Again, Defendants shall submit their medical records to the Court for an in camera inspection, and shall do so by October 7, 2020. Mailed notice. (jjr, ) (Docket Text Modified on 12/3/2020) (jjr, ).

RESPONSE by Defendants James Oliver, Angelo Pesavento, Edward J. Siwek to motion for disclosure #401 (Stefanich, Brian)
|
|
Filing 403
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed Plaintiff's motion for information regarding the health conditions of Defendants Pesavento and Oliver (Dckt. No. #401 ). Defendants' response is due by September 25, 2020. As Defendants proposed last month (Dckt. No. #399 ), Defendants shall submit information about their medical conditions, including supporting medical records, to the Court for an in camera inspection. Plaintiff may reply by September 30, 2020. In the motion, Plaintiff stated that he was "evaluating the need to preserve Defendants' trial testimony." (Dckt. No. #401 ) But were the Defendants deposed? And if so, why wouldn't those depositions suffice? A deposition of an opposing party is a statement of a party opponent, and a party is free to use the deposition of an opposing party at trial. "An adverse party may use for any purpose the deposition of a party...." See Fed. R. Civ. P. 32(a)(3). Hasn't Plaintiff already preserved the Defendants' trial testimony by taking their depositions? The motion seemingly distinguishes between "trial depositions (also referred to as evidentiary depositions)" and a "discovery deposition." Id. at para. 3, 6; see also id. at para. 6 (stating that Plaintiff's counsel took a "discovery deposition of Mr. Siwek," but adding that at "no point did it seem like his death might be imminent or that his health status warranted an evidentiary deposition to preserve his trial testimony"). But under the Federal Rules (unlike the Illinois rules - see Illinois Sup. Ct. R. 202, 212), there is no difference between a "discovery deposition" and an "evidence deposition." A deposition is a deposition. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Joint STATEMENT by Eddie L. Bolden Regarding Trial (Litoff, Eli)
|
|
Filing 398
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed Plaintiff's motion to set trial date (Dckt. No. #393 ). The Court shares the parties' desire to reschedule this trial at the earliest practicable opportunity. The Court acutely recalls the backstory of the rescheduling of the trial, including the delay caused by the reassignment on the eve of trial. (Dckt. Nos. [286, 291, 323, 386]) The Court fully appreciates the urgency in resetting the trial date, given the nature and age of the case, and intends to give this case priority when it reschedules its trials. Still, trials in this District have not taken place since mid-March, 2020, and will not resume until August 3, 2020. Criminal trials will have priority in the short term (e.g., in the demand for jurors), and there is a significant backlog of demand for civil trials. The Court intends to keep a watchful eye on how trials unfold in the next few weeks. In the meantime, counsel should meet and confer, and file a statement about how much lead time they will need between the selection of a new trial date and the trial. Counsel also shall inform the Court if there are any unworkable dates before the end of the year. The Court assumes that counsel continue to believe that trial will take three weeks. The Court appreciates the patience of counsel and the parties during this difficult time. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 386
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed the Joint Status Report (Dckt. No. #385 ). This Court hereby vacates the trial date of July 13, 2020. The Court does so regretfully, and is well-aware that rescheduling the trial is not anyone's first choice. The Court fully recalls the complications and work that went into rescheduling this trial after the reassignment. In light of the coronavirus pandemic, it is unclear when trials will resume at the Northern District of Illinois. When they do resume, criminal trials will take precedence (as they should). The Joint Status Report raises good points about the health and safety of the participants, too (including counsel). Rescheduling the trial seems inevitable given the current public health situation, so the Court is vacating the trial date now (as opposed to, say, a month from now) so that the parties can avoid the burden and expense of preparing for trial (especially now). Among other things, the Court was concerned about the prospect of preparing witnesses (some of whom are senior citizens), meeting with team members, and so on in the weeks ahead, especially if it might all be for naught. This Court will reschedule the trial as soon as practicable, and will give priority to this particular case to the extent possible, given the nature and age of the case. In the meantime, the Court commends counsel for their continuing patience and professionalism. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

Filing 381
ORDER In light of the public health situation, the Court encourages all parties and their counsel to take precautions, be reasonable, and use common sense in pending cases. In General Order No. 20-0012 dated March 16, 2020 (and amended on March 17), the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois extended all deadlines in civil cases by three weeks. Parties should assume that this Court will accommodate reasonable requests for extensions in the coming weeks, and counsel should show flexibility and accommodate each other too. This Court will grant a six-week extension of fact discovery if requested (and there is no need for an immediate request). Parties should not take depositions before April 17 unless (1) they take place telephonically; and (2) all parties and the witness(es) consent. Even a telephonic deposition often requires an in-person meeting to prepare the witness, so telephonic depositions can go forward only if everyone agrees. If any party or witness wants a deposition to take place in person, the deposition will take place after April 17. Needless to say, that date may change as the public health situation continues to evolve. Parties should continue to make progress in their cases when possible, but in a manner that is consistent with public health and safety. In the meantime, continue to work together cooperatively in the best traditions of our shared profession. The Court thanks all parties and their counsel for their patience and understanding during this difficult time.Signed by the Honorable Steven C. Seeger on 3/18/2020: Mailed notice. (docket1, )

Filing 323
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Status hearing held on October 22, 2019. Counsel discussed the Initial Status Report for Reassigned Case. As explained in open court, for the 25 pending motions in limine, the Court directs the parties to submit two complete sets of all briefs to the courtroom deputy, and do so at the completion of the briefing. Plaintiff will deliver all of the briefs (filed by each side) on its motions in limine - meaning the motion, the response brief, and the reply brief - and Defendants will do the same for their motions in limine. The parties and the Court continued their discussion about selecting a new trial date. The Court reviewed in detail all of the submissions by counsel about their respective availability for trial. The Court has attempted to find the first-available trial date that works for all counsel, without creating significant conflicts such as back-to-back trials for the attorneys. But the process has proven to be a challenge given the anticipated length of the trial, and given counsel's trial calendars in other matters (through no fault of their own). The Court appreciates the good-faith attempt by counsel for the parties to find a mutually acceptable trial date. Jury trial is set for July 13, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. The Court will reserve three weeks. The Court will set pretrial deadlines by separate order. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Milton I. Shadur: This is the initial scheduling order entered by this Court after the filing of the Complaint. Counsel for plaintiff is ordered to cause a copy of this order to be delivered forthwith to each defendant in the same manner that process has been or is being served on such defendant. There will be a status hearing--a "scheduling conference", as that term is used in attached Fed. R. Civ. P. ("Rule") 16(b), at 9:15 a.m. on March 15, 2017. Counsel for plaintiff and for each defendant that has been served with process or has appeared at least 28 days before that Status Hearing Date are ordered to meet not later than 14 days before the Status Hearing Date to comply with the provisions of Rules 26(f) and 26(a) (c) and this District Courts LR 26.1 Counsel for the parties are urged to undertake serious settlement efforts before the scheduled Status Hearing when no major investment in counsel's time (and clients' money) has yet taken place. If such efforts are unsuccessful, counsel should be prepared to attend the scheduled Status Hearing to discuss briefly their proposed discovery plan and other subjects appropriate for inclusion in the scheduling order as referred to in Rule 16(b). No written status report is to be filed. Although this Court will not set a close-of-discovery scheduling order until both sides have a good sense of the time needed for that purpose, the parties are urged to join in setting their own target dates in that respect at their initial Rule 26(f) conference and to review those target dates regularly during the discovery process. If any party is unrepresented by counsel, that party must comply with this order personally. Mailed notice (clw, )
