Date Filed Document Text
August 19, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 423 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER. For the foregoing reasons, the motion by Defendants The Renco Group, Ira Rennert, and the Trustees of the Rennert Trust for judgment as a matter of law is GRANTED with respect to Plaintiff's claims for unjust enrichment and punitive damages, and DENIED in all other respects. The same Defendants' motion for a new trial is DENIED. The remaining Defendants' motion for judgment as a matter of law is DENIED as moot. Plaintiff's motion to alter or amend the j udgment to increase the amount of prejudgment interest is DENIED. Because the Trustees of the Rennert Trust were liable only for Plaintiffs unjust enrichment claim, the Clerk is requested to amend the judgment to indicate that Plaintiff shall take no thing from Defendant Trustees of the Rennert Trust. The Clerk is requested to further amend the judgment to remove any punitive damages award. The judgment shall otherwise remain the same in all respects. This resolves Docket Nos. 402, 407, and 408. The Clerk is requested to terminate the case. Denying 402 Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law; Granting in part and denying in part 407 Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law; Denying 408 Motion to Alter Judgment. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 8/19/2015) (rjm)
March 4, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 325 ORDER: For the foregoing reasons herein, Defendants' oral motion for a mistrial made after the jury was dismissed, and their request that the Court refrain from entry of judgment on the grounds of a claimed inconsistency in the verdict, are DENIED. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 3/4/2015) (kgo)
August 25, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 37 ORDER: denying 24 Motion in Limine. To summarize: Defendants' motion for a protective order preventing the Trustee from compelling trial testimony during his case in chief from witnesses beyond the Court's subpoenapower is DENIED. Ins tead, any such witness from which Defendants wish to elicit live testimony must be made available to testify in the Trustee's case in chief. If Defendants would prefer that the witnesses remain at home, both sides will offer their testimony by d eposition. (The Court strongly encourages Defendants not to insist on this approach.) However, the Court-implementing its standard trial practices-will structure trial so that, if feasible and fair,witnesses need only take the stand once. This resolves Docket No. 24. (Signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on 8/22/2014) (djc)
