DECISIONAND ENTRY OVERRULING,AT THIS TIME, BALLAND
REXAM'S JOINT REQUEST FOR A STATUS CONFERENCE
Counsel for Ball Metal Beverage Container Corporation and Rexam Beverage Can
Company have requested, by email, a status conference withthis Court. SaidMotion is
OVERRULED,at this time, due to the lack ofnecessity.
The Court is well aware of the upcoming trial date and the fact that deadlines have
slipped in this matter. Without going into a great deal ofdetail, certain staffing issues have
arisen, putting this Court behindon severalpieces ofpending litigation, insofar asmling on
potentially dispositive motions and, if not dispositive, motions that canmaterially affect the
Case: 3:12-cv-00033-WHR Doc #: 221 Filed: 07/12/23 Page: 2 of 2 PAGEID #: 11505
presentation ofthetrial. Accordingly, whilethis Courtregrets, sincerely so,theslippageinthese
dates, it canthink ofno reason for a status conference, where counseljustifiably indicatethe
hardships caused by lack ofruling on certain critical motions, to be followed by the Court
making an explanation ofthe difficulties presently confronting it, difficulties which are
absolutely no responsibility of counsel.
By stating abovethatthe request for a status conference is OVERRULED"atthistime/
the Court is more thanwilling, shouldthe slippage continue for anothertento fourteen days, to
convene such a status conference.
