ORDER DENYING AMENDED

MOTION IN LIMINE WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

(Document #498)

This action was set for trial to be held on December 5, 2006. On December 2, 2006,

Defendants filed an amended motion in limine. On December 4, 2006, the parties and the court

reached a stipulation that vacated the trial date to allow Plaintiffs time to file discovery motion. 

While this stipulation has been the source of an incredible amount of litigation, the court is

currently enforcing the stipulation, and a new trial has not yet been set.

An administrative review of the docket in this action reveals that Defendants’ amended

motion in limine has been administratively termed as an outstanding motion. Pursuant to the

Civil Justice Reform Act, this court is not to delay ruling on a pending motion for more than six

months. Because the amended motion in limine has been pending for over six months and no

new trial date has been set, the court will deny this motion without prejudice. Defendants may

re-notice the motion once a new trial date is set.
