) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )

Case No. 05-2433-JWL

SPRINT COMMUNICATION COMPANY L.P.,'S EMERGENCY MOTION TO STRIKE VONAGE'S MOTIONS IN LIMINE Pursuant to the inherent powers of this Court, Plaintiff Sprint Communications Company L.P. ("Sprint") hereby moves to strike Vonage's "motions in limine" that request disposition of certain of Sprint's claims as a matter of law. (Doc. Nos. 292, 294 and 296). These motions, along with their memorandum in support, Doc. Nos. 293, 295 and 297, should be stricken. Vonage's "motions in limine" are a thinly veiled effort by Vonage to file dispositive motions beyond the eleventh hour. The Court's Rules and Orders specifically govern the timing and page limits for dispositive motions, and Vonage cannot avoid these rules by simply repackaging its rejected summary judgment arguments into motions in limine. For the reasons set forth in the accompanying memorandum, the Court should strike Vonage's dispositive "motions in limine."
