A Pre-trial conference was held before the Honorable Beth Labson-Freeman on July 2, 2015. Pre-trial motions, specifically, motions in limine, which request the Court to exclude certain evidence at trial, were heard on July 2, 2015.

The Order on the parties– Daubert Motions is pending with the Court and might not be entered until after the trial begins. There are no remaining motions to be heard outside of the trial.
