`
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`
`v.
`
`R.J. REYNOLDS VAPOR COMPANY
`
`
`Defendant.
`
`Case No. 1:20-cv-00393-LO-TCB
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`PHILIP MORRIS’ MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE REYNOLDS FROM
`CONTRADICTING THE COURT’S CONSTRUCTION OF “BLIND HOLE”
`
`Philip Morris respectfully moves in limine to preclude Reynolds from presenting
`
`arguments that contradict Judge O’Grady’s prior claim construction and Daubert orders. See Dkt.
`
`360 at 1; Dkt. 1184 at 23. Specifically, the Court should bar Reynolds from arguing that the claim
`
`term “blind hole” in the ’911 patent cannot contain additional spaces or cavities.
`
`The grounds for this motion are set forth in the accompanying Memorandum In Support of
`
`Philip Morris’s Motion in Limine to Preclude Reynolds from Contradicting the Court’s
`
`Construction of “Blind Hole.” A proposed order granting the requested relief is attached.
