8:12CV408
ORDER

This matter is before the court on Defendants’ Motion for Leave to Supplement
Pretrial Briefing (Filing No. 379). In two cases related to this action, Defendants have
filed Motions to Revise Judgment Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) and the Court’s
Inherent Authority. See Filing No. 400 in Case No. 8:11cv401; Filing No. 302 in Case
No. 8:12cv307. Defendants assert that Plaintiffs’ “sleeper berth” claims in this case are
dependent on the summary judgment rulings entered in the two related cases. Because
Defendants have requested that the Court revisit those summary judgment rulings, which
may have a “significant impact” in this case, Defendants seek leave to file the Motion to
Revise and related briefing for the court’s consideration when ruling on the pending
pretrial motions in this case. The court finds the motion should be granted. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED:
1. Defendants’ Motion for Leave to Supplement Pretrial Briefing (Filing No. 379) is
granted;

1

2. Plaintiffs are directed to address in their response briefs due October 24, 2016, in
Case. No. 8:11cv401 and Case No. 8:12cv307, Defendants’ assertion that the
Motions to Revise will impact the pending pretrial motions in this case.

DATED: October 7, 2016.
