Signed by Honorable R Bryan Harwell on 1/3/2011. Motions referred to Shiva V Hodges. (hcic) (Entered: 01/03/2011) 112 TEXT ORDER: The Court has under review the pending motions to seal documents and, because of that, issued an order extending Defendants' time for filing dispositive motions until January 5, 2011. Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment on December 22, 2010, which was the same date Defendants asked for the extension of time to file dispositive motions. The Court did not receive the documents for in camera review until a couple of days before Christmas as they had been inadvertently sent to Judge Wooten by counsel. Accordingly, because the Court has been unable to review the motions to seal, the Court further extends the time for filing dispositive motions, and any response times, until such time to be set by the Court after determination of the motions to seal.

"Crew Rally" tour is not an unexpected event that has recently arisen, Firehouse Subs has failed to demonstrate good cause for continuance of the trial date to September or beyond. Firehouse Subs argues that it needs protection for the Sorensens and other executive team members for the entire month of August. This request is unreasonable, and for the Court to require Firehouse Subs to have its various representatives available for one week is not an unreasonable burden in a case that has been pending this long and where the Court is available that week to try it. This case is expected to last one week, and Firehouse Subs should be able to have at least one, if not more, of its representatives available on each day of the trial. The parties have agreed that the trial should not begin before August 15, 2011, due to various witness and attorney scheduling conflicts. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the trial of this case will commence on Monday, August 15, 2011, at 9:30 am. Signed by Honorable R Bryan Harwell on 7/27/2011.

Bearden Response filed by Firehouse Restaurant Group Inc, Fireside Restaurant Company Inc, Three Alarm Subs Inc. (Manos, Marcus) Modified on 8/12/2011 to add filers listed on document (hcic). (Entered: 08/12/2011) 206 TEXT ORDER: Both parties have filed supplemental briefs regarding Defendants' intent to offer evidence of websites of other restaurants and businesses that use the term "firehouse" in their names. Dr. Bearden may give testimony regarding his confirmation of "actual use" only with regard to those websites of businesses for which printouts were made a part of his deposition and also as to any others that he specifically identified from memory (if any) at his deposition; PROVIDED HOWEVER , that these "new disclosures" regarding his confirmation that the businesses (i.e. users of those websites) were actually in business, were in fact disclosed and supplemented timely as set forth in Rule 26(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. If they were not timely disclosed, they are excluded. Rule 26(e)(2) provides, with regard to experts supplementing information "included in the report and to information given during the expert's deposition[,] [a]ny additions or changes to this information must be disclosed by the time the party's pretrial disclosures under Rule 26(a)(3) are due." The Amended Scheduling Order dated February 10, 2011, specified the date for pretrial disclosures as May 27, 2011. Plaintiffs argue that new information not included in Dr. Bearden's expert report should be excluded even though such may have been available at his deposition for their cross-examination of him. As the Plaintiffs have known about websites specifically mentioned or made a part of the record at Dr. Bearden's deposition, they have suffered no prejudice regarding them. However, the Court will exclude any information regarding websites that he wishes to testify to that were not specifically mentioned or included in his deposition. The Court has nothing from the parties as to when this new information regarding the confirmation of these 30 websites/businesses was disclosed. Additionally, the parties have submitted nothing to the Court to determine if the disclosures were made prior to May 27, 2011. The parties should advise the Court
