The Court issued a tentative order on March 27, 2018; the parties did not contest the
tentative. Having duly considered the brief and evidence submitted by the parties,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
Defendants Argoz, Inc., Five Mill, Inc. and Dan Soha's motion to trifurcate proceedings is
granted as to the request to bifurcate the amount of punitive damages from all other issues and
denied as to the request for a separate trial phase on alter ego liability without prejudice to re-
raising that request before the trial judge. Defendants have a statutory right to bifurcation of the
amount of punitive damages and that request is not opposed. The trial judge, not a pre-trial judge,
is in the best position to evaluate whether a separate trial phase on alter ego liability would
promote judicial economy and the interests of justice.
