Trinidad v. Moore et al

Filing 251

ORDER: On 2/2/2017, this court Ordered the Plaintiff to provide evidence of his income and his expenses on stated dates (Doc. 211 ). On 2/3/2017, this court Ordered the Plaintiff to file a statement of the amount he claims as lost earnings in this c ase and the basis for the that claim (Doc. 216 ). In response, the Plaintiff filed a document which states that it is responsive to the court's 211 Order. Within that filing, however, the Plaintiff has stated that his claim for lost earning capacity in the past and future is $245,833. The Plaintiff then states that he intends to incorporate his 2016 wage information as an offset to his lost earning capacity in the past, and estimates he incurred $123,955.70 in expenses. It app ears, therefore, that the figure provided does not include the Settlement Sheets and expenses evidence provided in response to this courts orders. The court cannot discern from the Plaintiffs filing what dollar figure the Plaintiff will seek to recov er at trial as compensatory damages for loss of past earnings. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Plaintiff is given until noon on 2/28/2017 to provide the court with a statement of the amount he seeks in past lost earnings in this case. Signed by Honorable Judge W. Harold Albritton, III on 2/27/2017. (dmn, )

Civil Action No. 2:15cv323-WHA

ORDER
On February 2, 2017, this court Ordered the Plaintiff to provide evidence of his income
and his expenses on stated dates (Doc. #211). On February 3, 2017, this court Ordered the
Plaintiff to file a statement of the amount he claims as lost earnings in this case and the basis for
that claim (Doc. #216).
In response, the Plaintiff filed a document which states that it is responsive to the court’s
Order at Document number 211. Within that filing, however, the Plaintiff has stated that his
claim for lost earning capacity in the past and future is $245,833. The Plaintiff then states that he
intends to incorporate his 2016 wage information as an offset to his lost earning capacity in the
past, and estimates he incurred $123,955.70 in expenses. It appears, therefore, that the figure
provided does not include the Settlement Sheets and expenses evidence provided in response to
this court’s orders. The court cannot discern from the Plaintiff’s filing what dollar figure the
Plaintiff will seek to recover at trial as compensatory damages for loss of past earnings.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that

the Plaintiff is given until noon on February 28, 2017 to provide the court with a
statement of the amount he seeks in past lost earnings in this case.
Done this 27th day of February, 2017.
