IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

 WESTERN DIVISION

WILLIAM L. PATTON, JR. FAMILY

LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, LLLP, ET AL. PLAINTIFFS

vs. CASE NO. 4:04CV1477GH

SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, INC., ET AL. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Pending before the Court is defendants’ motion for summary judgment and motion

in limine with regard to Section 8.1. of the Lease. Plaintiffs do not make a separate claim

under Section 8.1 of the lease; therefore, there is no basis for entry of judgment on a nonexistent claim. Furthermore, the Court is not persuaded that evidence of section 8.1 of the

lease should be excluded. The Court can determine its relevancy when considering

plaintiffs’ claim under Section 5.3 of the lease.

The Court requested that the Court’s expert Porter Brownlee provide two opinions.

After Mr. Brownlee has submitted the information to the Court and the parties, the parties

will have eleven days to submit post-trial briefs and proposed findings of fact and

conclusions of law. The parties will then eleven days thereafter to submit responses to the

opposing parties’ briefs and proposed findings and conclusions. 

Accordingly, the motion for summary judgment and the motion in limine is denied.

The Clerk is directed to provide a copy of this Order to Porter Brownlee, 1501 N. Pierce,

Little Rock, AR 72207.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 21st day of December, 2006.
