- ilnd;;1:11-cv-02705_de34 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman:Defendants' motion to bifurcate 20 is granted. Because the defendants concede their use of the program at issue, questions regarding their liability to plaintiff are potentially resolved on an expedited basis following minimal discovery related to plaintiff's ownership rights and defendants' usage rights. The court finds that the bifurcation of liability and damages issues, by encouraging the potential for such prompt resolution prior to damages discovery, serves the interests of judicial economy. The court further finds that there is minimal potential for overlap between evidence relevant to liability issues and that relevant to damages issues, and accordingly concludes that bifurcation would not result in duplicative jury review of issues or violation of Seventh Amendment principles. The court observes no prejudice to the plaintiff that would result in bifurcation. For the foregoing reasons, defendants' motion to bifurcate is granted pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(b). Defendants' motion to bifurcate 20 is granted. Further proceedings, including discovery, related to damages are stayed pending resolution of the liability issues between the parties. Mailed notice (keg, ) (Entered: 10/14/2011)" @default.
