ENDORSED ORDER granting in part and denying in part 53 Motion for Reconsideration re: 51 Order on Motions. Text of Order: The court granted defendants' motion in limine to present proof on the First Amendment issue at the hearing to be held next week before plaintiffs' presentation because defendants will bear the burden to justify restrictions on plaintiffs' speech. As the court noted, plaintiffs had not then objected to the reverse order of proof. Plaintiffs now object and ask the court to reconsider allowing defendants to proceed first on that issue. The order of proof will be addressed and decided at the hearing, if necessary, after the parties' presentations on the question of mootness. Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration (doc. no. 53) is granted in part and denied in part as provided in this order. So Ordered by Judge Steven J. McAuliffe.(lw)
