Lumbermens Merchandising
Corporation v. Stacey Holdings, Inc.; 24-1111; The Court took proactive

constitutional right.�

BY HEY, J.
Brown et al v. Brooks et al; 23-2966; Because the measure
of damages for past medical damages is the amount accepted by the provider as
payment in full and that amount is readily available, I conclude that Ms.
Dailey�s analysis is not relevant to any issue the jury must decide and would
not aid the jury, and therefore her analysis is precluded.

description of duties set forth in Plaintiff�s own resume.
BY PADOVA, J.
Staple v. LM General Insurance Company; 24-3935;
Moreover, there is no indication that Plaintiff has acted in bad faith, has
acted with dilatory motive, has unduly delayed litigation, or has repeatedly
failed to cure the deficiencies in her bad faith claim by amendment.
Furthermore, it does not appear that amendment would be futile. We therefore
grant Plaintiff leave to amend her bad faith claim.
