v.
FORD MOTOR COMPANY,
Defendant.
_________________________________/
ORDER (1) DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR ENTRY OF FINAL
JUDGMENT (ECF No. 46) AND (2) SETTING SCHEDULE
On January 10, 2020, Plaintiff Arabian Motors Group W.L.L. (“Arabian
Motors”) filed a Motion for Entry of Final Judgment (ECF No. 46). Defendant Ford
Motor Company responded to the motion on January 31, 2020. (See Resp., ECF No.
47.) The Court thereafter directed both parties to submit proposed judgments to aid
the Court in its consideration of Arabian Motors’ motion, and both parties submitted
such judgments. (See ECF Nos. 50 & 51.) The Court reviewed the proposed
judgments with the parties during an on-the-record video status conference on April
20, 2020.
For the reasons explained on the record during the conference, the Court does
not believe that either proposed judgment accurately reflects the intended rulings of
