CIVIL ACTION NO. 10-00495-KD-M

ORDER
This matter came before the Court on this date for a telephone conference with counsel of
record regarding Plaintiff Timothy Jones’ Motion for Authorization of Expenses under Local
Rule 67.4. (Doc. 86).
The parties agree that this case should be bifurcated, with liability to be determined
before the issue of damages and discovery relating to same is addressed. As such, in the event
that liability is determined against the Defendant at the conclusion of the September 5-6, 2012
jury trial, discovery will be reopened for a period of 60 days and the case will also be scheduled
for a separate jury or bench trial (to be determined) on the damages issue. Accordingly, upon
consideration, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Authorization of Rule 67.4 Expenses
(Doc. 86) is DENIED at this time with leave to refile once the issue of liability is determined.
DONE and ORDERED this the 21st day of June 2012.
