MEMORANDUM
SYLVIA H. RAMBO, District Judge.
Before the court is Defendant Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance Company's motion for sanctions (Doc. 43) and motion in limine (Doc. 48). The motion for sanctions is premised on the allegation that counsel for Plaintiff, in his motion for leave to file a second amended complaint (Doc. 19), deliberately and intentionally misrepresented counsel for Allstate's correspondence during settlement negotiations (See Doc. 43). The motion in limine seeks to preclude Plaintiff from calling defense counsel as a witness at trial on the bad faith claim. (See Doc. 48.) On November 18, 2015, this court issued a memorandum (Doc. 55) and order (Doc. 56) granting partial summary judgment in favor of Allstate and dismissing the bad faith claim. Since the bad faith claim is no longer an issue in this case, the motion in limine is deemed moot. However, the court will defer ruling on the motion for sanctions until conclusion of trial.
It is this court's expectation that this litigation will proceed with the utmost adherence to professionalism.
An appropriate order will issue.
