ENTRY AND ORDER DENYING TURN, INC.’S MOTION IN LIMINE
REGARDING PURPORTED DAMAGES INCURRED BY PLAINTIFF (DOC. 78)
______________________________________________________________________________
This case is before the Court on the Motion in Limine regarding Purported Damages
Incurred by Plaintiff (“Motion in Limine”) (Doc. 78) filed by Defendant Turn, Inc. (“Turn”).
Turn filed the Motion in Limine prior to the Court’s Order bifurcating the trial of this matter
between liability and damages. (Doc. 99.) Once the Court ordered bifurcation of the trial, it
declined to rule on the Motion in Limine because it was not relevant to the liability issues to be
tried first. The Court has since completed the bench trial as to liability and entered its Findings of
Fact, Conclusions of Law and Judgment as to Liability Only. (Doc. 113.) The parties are now
working to resolve any remaining issues and submit a proposed stipulated judgment regarding
damages for the Court’s consideration. If the parties are unsuccessful in that endeavor, however,
the bench trial as to damages will commence on February 12, 2018.
In light of all that has transpired, it is uncertain whether the issues raised by Turn’s Motion
in Limine are disputed by the parties or otherwise remain relevant to this case. The Court
therefore DENIES the Motion in Limine (Doc. 78) without prejudice to re-filing if necessary to
resolve any disputed issues before the bench trial as to damages.
DONE and ORDERED in Dayton, Ohio, this Friday, November 17, 2017.
