For the reasons stated on the record at the conference on March 31, 2023, Plaintiffs' Second, Third, and Fourth Motions in Limine and Defendants' Ninth Motion in Limine are denied at this time, with leave to renew them at trial. 13. The Court's prior Orders, including the March 24, 2020 Order and the August 18, 2020 Order, limit the testimony of Dr. Stewart and are expected to be strictly followed. They forbid testimony of the similarity of TOL to the LGO sound recording, bassline, or drum patterns, which might confuse the jury about what is protected by the copyright. 14. Defendants' Eighth Motion in Limine is denied in part and granted in part. Plaintiffs may rely on the E flat major key in their selection and arrangement argument. That is not a new legal theory and relying on the key does not pose any insuperable surprise or prejudice to defendants. Plaintiff's proposed Exhibit 128 is excluded under Evidence Rule 403, with leave to offer relevant portions that are not hearsay. The remainder of defendants' requests, those connected to the drum pattern and bassline, are denied with leave to renew at trial. So Ordered. (Signed by Judge Louis L. Stanton on 4/5/2023) (tg)

PRETRIAL ORDER NO. 5 denying with leave to renew at trial #180 Motion in Limine; granting #186 Motion in Limine. On consideration of the parties' submissions with respect to the defendants' Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh Motions in limine, and good cause appearing, the following in limine rules are made: Defendants' Fourth motion in limine, for exclusion of evidence or argument relating to (a) the Spin and Billboard articles, and (b) the Let's Get It On (Deluxe) Album Liner notes, and of those items themselves, is meritorious, unopposed, and granted. Defendants' Sixth motion in limine, for exclusion of evidence of performance of medleys or "mashups" of Let's Get It On with Thinking Out Loud, is denied with leave to renew it at trial, when the Court can evaluate the other evidence and the considerations expressed in Fed. R. Evidence 403. Defendants' Seventh motion in limine, for exclusion from evidence plaintiffs' proposed performance(s) of the Let's Get It On Deposit Copy, is granted. Omissions, additions and errors in the creations of Exhibits 01 and 02 render them unreliable and inadmissible as evidence of true performances of the Let's Get It On Deposit Copy. So Ordered.

ORDER: On counsels' submissions of October 2 and 14, 2020, the trial of this action is deferred until next spring. At present there is no prospect of certainty that the trial will go forward as scheduled. On the contrary, the number of courtrooms renovated for trials is small, criminal cases have priority, and trial-ready civil cases are fed in to gaps left by unexpected pleas. On the other hand, it seems reasonable to expect that conditions will have improved by next spring. At plaintiffs' request, the deadlines in the present pre-trial order are vacated, to be reset with regards to a spring trial. However, any party may file any of those of its submissions which do not require joint input, at any time convenient to that party. So ordered. (Signed by Judge Louis L. Stanton on 10/15/2020) (rro)

PRETRIAL ORDER NO. 4: Having read the parties' submissions, the order in which the case will proceed is as follows: (1) Openings on liability, without reference to damages; (2) Plaintiffs' witnesses, direct and cross, on liability; (3) Defendants' witnesses, direct and cross, on liability; (4) Closings, jury instructions and verdict on liability; (5) If plaintiffs prevail on liability, openings on damages; (6) Plaintiffs' case on damages (7) Defendants' case on damages; (8) Closings, jury instruction and verdict on damages. During the first segment of the trial, there is to be no reference, by proof, argument, comment or in any other manner, to the amount of damages or any measurement of the harm claimed to have been inflicted by the defendants' infringement. The focus will be entirely on whether or not the defendants' work is infringing. This may result in some witnesses testifying twice. That is not an infrequent occurrence; jurors take it in their stride without confusion; and the two presentations, divided by deliberation and a verdict, will assist in keeping clear and adjudicating separately the issues of infringement and the measure of damages. So ordered. (Signed by Judge Louis L. Stanton on 10/5/2020) (rro)

PRETRIAL ORDER NO. 3: There shall be no reference, mention, evidence or argument concerning any other litigation or claim of infringement between the parties, or any other parties and any defendant, or the outcome of any such claim. The trial shall be devoted entirely to the facts and law involved in this case, and any reference to other claims, copying, infringements or litigations are excluded under Fed. R. Evict. 403 and 404. There shall be no reference, mention, evidence or argument concerning Mr. Sheeran's or any litigant's wealth, general success or general revenues. The jury, like the Court, will do equal right to the poor and the rich. That does not bar evidence of earnings, costs and the like from specific works and performances to establish or limit damages in this particular infringement case. So ordered.

ORDER with respect to #126 Motion in Limine: Following in limine rulings 1, 2 and 3 in the March 24, 2020 Opinion and Order, Dr. Stewart is bound by, and shall abide by numbers 1 and 2 of those rulings, with which he is to be madefamiliar before he testifies. In addition, 4. Dr. Stewart shall express no opinion on whether any musical work, or any part of any musical work, is "protected" (by copyright or originality) or is substantially similar to theLet' s Get It On deposit copy. Those are legal conclusions outside his area of expertise. 5. For reasons particular to this case, Dr. Stewart shall not characterize Let's Get It On or a constituent element of it, such as a chord progression or harmonic rhythm, as being "unique," "distinctive," "unusual" or the like. That is because such opinions were not disclosed in his Report, his prior art research was not such as to support them, and there is uncontradicted proof that those elements in this case are common musical techniques. 6. Dr. Stewart may testify to similarities in the vocal melodies, subject to cross-examination on deletions and alterations he made to produce or enhance them. So ordered. (Signed by Judge Louis L. Stanton on 8/18/2020) (ml)

OPINION & ORDER ON DEFENDANTS' FIRST MOTION IN LIMINE: Defendants first in limine request, "for an order limiting Plaintiffs to comparing Thinking Out Loud with the musical composition Let's Get It On as reflected in the deposit copyfiled with the Copyright Office for that work" is granted; The Gaye sound recording is inadmissible in any way which might confuse the jury into thinking it represents what is protected by copyright. For example, comparisons of elements in Thinking Out Loud which are similar to elements in the Gaye sound recording (but not the Deposit Copy) will not be allowed. To that extent, Defendants' second and third in limine requests are granted; and rulings on whether portions, or the whole Gaye sound recording may be played or otherwise referred to at trial, are deferred until trial. At present it seems those would be barred by Fed. R. Evid. 403, but there may arise circumstances or arguments under which they may be admissible. Counsel are directed to give advance notice to their adversary and the Court before making such submissions. (Signed by Judge Louis L. Stanton on 3/24/2020) (ml)
