Date Filed Document Text
May 10, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 263 ORDER ON DEFENDANTS' MAY 7, 2021 MOTIONS, signed by the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly on 5/10/2021: For the reasons stated in the accompanying order, the Court grants defendants' motion to file a second amended exhibit 3A to the final pret rial order 258 ; denies their motion for clarification of the trial-time-limits order 261 but has in fact clarified it; and denies their motion to clarify or reconsider the in limine rulings and their renewed motion to stay 260 . Finally, to ret urn to a topic addressed in the first paragraph of this order, Ordower is directed to show cause why the Court should not assess trial time against him for the latter motion 260 , consistent with the terms of the trial-time-limits order. The Court proposes to assess only one hour, though this is a good deal less time than the Court spent reviewing the motion and the relevant underlying and related material. This will be addressed at the outset of the morning session on May 11. (mk)
May 2, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 248 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER signed by the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly on 5/2/2021: The Court rules on the parties' remaining motions in limine as set out in this order. The Court believes that it has now ruled on all of the matters presente d in the parties' motions in limine. Based upon the Court's exclusion, via this order, of additional evidence (including, but not limited to, the experts' respective weighing of and conclusions about what the evidence shows), all of which was done after the Court's setting of trial time limits, the Court reduces each side's trial time allocation by one hour, to a total of fifteen each, thirty total. The Court notes that it regards this as a very conservative downward adjustment given the amount of evidence excluded via the present order. (mk)
