Attorneys for Defendants 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Jeremy Thacker, No. 2:18-cv-00063-PHX-DGC

DEFENDANTS’ RESPONSE TO 

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION IN LIMINE 

NO. 7 – REFERENCE TO 

SUBSEQUENT STATE COURT 

PROCEEDING 

Plaintiff,

v.

GPS Insight, LLC; Robert J. Donat, 

Individually and as Trustee of The 

Robert Donat Living Trust Dated April 

19, 2017, 

Defendants.

Plaintiff’s Motion in Limine No. 7 is premature. As Plaintiff’s motion explains, 

the state court has not yet issued any rulings in that matter. Once the state court rules on 

the preliminary injunction application, Defendants may very well agree with Plaintiff’s 

Motion in Limine No. 7. Defendants expect the state court to issue a ruling soon, and so 

there is no need for this Court or the parties to grapple with this issue in the abstract. If 

the evidentiary issues raised in Plaintiff’s motion remain following the state court’s 

ruling, the parties can then take up the issue with this Court at the final pretrial conference. 

For these reasons, Defendants request the Court delay ruling on Plaintiff’s motion until 

that time.
