Opinion
Case No. 09-80524-CIV-ZLOCH.
October 22, 2010
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court upon Plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission's Motion in Limine to Strike Affirmative Defenses of Defendant Shulman and Relief Defendant Becnel as Irrelevant [D.E. 58] and Plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission's Motion in Limine for Adverse Inferences Against Manny J. Shulman and to Strike Affirmative Defenses [D.E. 59], upon referral by the Honorable William J. Zloch. See D.E. 67. The Court has reviewed the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") Motions and filings in support thereof, as well as the record in this matter. Neither Defendant Shulman nor Relief Defendant Becnel has filed any response to either Motion in Limine. As a result, the Court does not know whether Defendant Shulman and Relief Defendant Becnel oppose all or any of the relief sought in the pending Motions in Limine.
Consequently, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendant Shulman shall file a response to both of the SEC's pending Motions in Limine, and Relief Defendant Becnel shall file a response to the SEC's Motion in Limine to Strike Affirmative Defenses [D.E. 58], stating whether they oppose the relief sought in these Motions in Limine, and, if so, the basis for their positions. If Defendant Shulman and Relief Defendant Becnel do not oppose the relief sought in these Motions in Limine, they shall so state in their responses. Defendant Shulman and Relief Defendant Becnel shall file their responses by no later than Wednesday, November 3, 2010. Failure to file responses may result in the granting of the Motions in Limine by default.
DONE AND ORDERED this 22nd day of October 2010.
