AVERN COHN, District Judge

This is a patent case. Plaintiff charges defendant Christian Hammarskjold with inducing infringement of U.S. Patent 5,888,038.

Plaintiff "does not allege that Hammarskjold knew or should have known that his acts would result in patent infringement." (Motion in Limine by American Seating Regarding Evidence of Intent to Induce Infringement filed June 15, 2006, at 2.) Accordingly, defendant Christian Hammarskjold is DISMISSED as a defendant.
