- ilnd;;1:08-cv-05913_de434 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before Honorable James F. Holderman: Defendant Town of Cicero's ("Town") "Motion to Bar Trial of 'Widespread Pattern and Practice' under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in Exchange for the Town's Monell Waiver and Bifurcate Trial Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(b) in Light of Court's Rulings of 06/09/2011 and 06/21/2011 415 is granted in part and denied in part. First, based on the Town's concession that it will accept Monell liability if defendant Larry Dominick ("Dominick") is found liable on plaintiff ECE0CCC ("Rojas") First Amendment political retaliation claim, the court finds that no further evidence need be presented to the jury to establish the Town's Monell liability. The Town's motion to bar a trial related to its Monell liability accordingly is granted. Second, the Town's motion to bifurcate ECE0CCC First Amendment and Equal Protection claims is denied. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(b), "the court may order a separate trial of one ore more separate... claims" "for convenience, to avoid prejudice, or to expedite and economize." In this case, the court finds that bifurcation of ECE0CCC claims likely will complicate the issues rather than serve the considerations outlined in Rule 42(b). Mailed notice (am) (Entered: 06/30/2011)" @default.
