Judge Michael A. Ponsor: MEMORANDUM AND ORDER REGARDING MOTIONS IN LIMINE entered. As follows: Defendants Motion In Limine Regarding Alleged Infringement of Discrete Elements (Dkt. No. 98 ). This motion is hereby ALLOWED, in part. Defendants Motion In Limine Regarding Standing (Dkt. No. 101 ) and Plaintiffs Motion In Limine to Preclude Defenses (Dkt. No. 105 ). The filing of these two motions in limine has sharpened the courts focus on whether Plaintiff possesses sufficient rights in the alle gedly copyrighted material to allow it to pursue this action. The legal chain connecting Plaintiff to the two Big Case commercials appears tenuous. Based on this, the court has directed the clerk to set up a hearing on this issue at 10:00 a.m. on Feb ruary 17, 2012. Plaintiff should come to this hearing with the documentary material sufficient, if accepted by the jury, to provide standing to Plaintiff to pursue this copyright action. See the attached memo and order for complete details. (Lindsay, Maurice)
