ORDER

THIRD-PARTY

DEFENDANTS

Atlys Global's motion for summary judgment, Doc. 1109, is denied.

An explanatory Order will be filed in due course. This older case is first

No. 4:21-cv-618-DPM

out for trial on 3 June 2024.

Case 4:21-cv-00618-DPM Document 134 Filed 04/18/24 Page 1 of 2
The Court is inclined to deny Atlys Global's motion for sanctions,

Doc. 125, too. One thing is clear. Striking pleadings would be too harsh

a sanction for the alleged conduct. Vallejo v. Aingen, Inc.,

903 F.3d 733, 747 (8th Cir. 2018); Rodgers v. Curators ofUniv. ofMissouri,

135 F.3d 1216, 1219 (8th Cir. 1998). The Court's forthcoming Order will

also resolve this motion.

So Ordered.
