Request To Consider Sanctions At Preliminary Injunction Hearing
My goodness this going to be an interesting hearing.
Judge Kimberley Priest Johnson (USMJ)
Scope Of Evidence At Preliminary Injunction Hearing
The issue presented was whether certain evidence regarding the scope of an agreement could be presented at the hearing.
Compelling Analysis and Privileged Emails
Is the referenced analysis privileged? How about the licensing emails from client to counsel?

Did You Talk To Your Lawyer?
The question of what happened during the break in a depo or trial sometimes comes up. This Hotline order provides some guidance.
Approval of Collective Action Settlement
This is a Fair Labor Standards Act case, in which the plaintiff alleged that the defendant should have paid managers overtime compensation.
Partial summary judgment
This case involves a preschool teacher who alleged she was discharged due to her disability. Defendant sought partial summary judgment on damages due to to her alleged failure to mitigate.
Proceeding Under a Jane Doe
Sometimes parties seek to proceed under pseudonyms for various reasons. This order deals with deals with a party that sought leave to continue to proceed under the pseudonym “Jane Roe”.
Compelling Arbitration
With the prevalence of arbitration agreements, it’s always worth looking ate recent opinions on the subject of whether arbitration can be compelled or not.
Another juicy contentions amendment/sanctions order
So shoot me if I’m off topic. My engineering student (who is still looking for an internship in electrical and computer engineering this summer, if you know anyone) comes home from Baylor Thursday night for Easter and cooks a prototype of his new “folded steak” recipe (he cut an 8 oz. filet partway multiple times, unfolds it to cook, then folds it again over some kind of herbed butter because no one needs to live forever). It worked so well he made eight more for the whole family Saturday night.
You know what ALSO worked well recently? The plaintiff’s motion to amend its infringement contentions which not only worked – the defendant’s related motion for sanctions was denied as well. (The cross motion for sanctions for filing a motion for sanctions was also denied because of course).
