DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Steel Dynamics Columbus, LLC, and Logistic Services, Inc., have moved to exclude the
opinions and testimony of J.P. “Pat” Jamison. The plaintiff has withdrawn Jamison from the topics
that are the subject of Steel Dynamics’ motion, which renders that motion moot. Document #210
at 2. The topics that are the subject of Logistic Services’ motion are the same. Jamison’s remaining
opinions relate to the responsibilities of tugboat captains, that is the captains of the tugboats for
Cooper Marine and Kinder Morgan Marine. Summary judgment has been entered on those issues.
Document #240. Therefore, the motions to exclude the testimony of J.P. Jamison are DENIED AS
MOOT. Document #147.1
IT IS SO ORDERED this 22nd day of September, 2017.

Logistic Services filed a motion to exclude portions of the testimony of Jamison, James F.
Pritchard, and Dr. Thomas W. Butler as Document #69 in case No. 3:15CV00170. That motion was
denied as moot as to the Coleman case after that case settled. With respect to the Nieves case, that
motion is now denied as moot insofar as it seeks to exclude Jamison’s testimony.
