`
`ORDER NO. 56:
`
`Inv. No. 337-TA-1235
`
`
`DENYING COMPLAINANTS’ MOTION FOR
`RECONSIDERATION OF ORDER NO. 53 [1235-067]
`
`(September 27, 2021)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`On September 20, 2021, Complainants Jaguar Land Rover Limited and Jaguar Land
`
`Rover North America, LLC (“JLR”) moved for a reconsideration (“Motion”) of the decision in
`
`Order No. 53 with respect to Mr. Sidders and JLR’s Motion in Limine No. 1 to exclude his
`
`testimony. (Motion Docket No. 1235-067; Motion at 1.).
`
`
`
`On September 21, 2021, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Porsche Cars North America, Inc.,
`
`Volkswagen AG, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.,
`
`Automobili Lamborghini America, LLC, Audi AG and Audi of America, LLC (collectively,
`
`“Respondents”) filed their opposition (“Opposition”) to JLR’s Motion. (Doc. ID No. 752203;
`
`Opposition at 1.).
`
`
`
`JLR claims that Order No. 53 contains two (2) factual errors: (1) that JLR did not file
`
`papers in opposition to Dana’s Motion to Quash with respect to Mr. Sidders’ testimony; and (2)
`
`that JLR had an opportunity to depose Mr. Sidders but chose not to do so. (Motion at 1.).
`
`
`
`As Respondents note, “A motion for reconsideration may be granted based on: (1) an
`
`intervening change in controlling law; (2) the availability of new evidence; or (3) the need to
`
`correct a clear error of law or fact or prevent manifest injustice.” (See Opp’n at 1 (citing Certain

`
`
`
`Road Milling Machines and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-1067, Order No. 24 at 1
`
`(Feb. 28, 2018); Impax Lab'ys Inc. v. Lannett Holdings Inc., 893 F.3d 1372, 1378 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2018) (“A factual finding is only clearly erroneous if, despite some supporting evidence, we are
`
`left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been made.”).).
`
`
`
`There are no factual errors that would change the outcome of the decisions contained in
`
`Order No. 53 even though Order No. 53 mistakenly failed to recognize that JLR filed its
`
`Response to Non-Party Dana Inc.’s Motion to Quash Subpoena Ad Testificandum to Dana
`
`Employee Jason Sidders (Mot. No. 1235-061) (“JLR’s Resp.”), Doc. ID No. 751129 at 1, 3 (Sep.
`
`7, 2021).). However, Each of JLR’s arguments in its motions in limine was considered based
`
`upon all the information submitted, including the information provided with respect to the efforts
`
`that were made: to obtain Mr. Sidders’ Declaration, his deposition, and conversations with him.
`
`(Opp’n at 2, 3.). JLR could have moved to enforce the subpoena ad testificandum, issued to him.
`
`The rationales for denying JLR’s MIL No. 1 is contained in Order Nos. 53 and 54 together.
`
`To address another point JLR raised in its Motion, my Ground Rules do not require that a
`
`witness who may be called to testify during an evidentiary hearing (“Hearing”) be deposed
`
`beforehand.
`
`
`
`For the foregoing reasons, JLR’s Motion for Reconsideration, Motion Docket No. 1235-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`067, is denied.
`
`SO ORDERED.
