Jury Demand
O R D E R
A telephone conference was held at the request of the
parties concerning the scope of the case and the handling of
certain evidence.
The parties have agreed that the Plaintiff’s
claims involve his termination on March 26, 2010.
If a wrongful
termination is found then the issue of whether there could be a
termination for later discovered evidence would become relevant
under McKennon v. The Nashville Banner, 513 U.S. 352 (1995).
With that understanding the parties advised that they
believed they had resolved the question on which they requested the
Court’s guidance.
The Court will note for the benefit of the parties that
when
preparing
the
final
pretrial
order
the
Court
may
well
bifurcate liability from damages in order to simplify consideration
of the tape recordings in question.
The parties advised that they believe this case may take
four or five days to try.
It is so ORDERED.
