Motion filed in Cause No. 2000-05-1962-C (Villarreal v. GAF Corporation Holdings, Inc., et al.) in which the defendants, including Union Carbide Corporation, asked the court to bifurcate the determination of the amount of punitive damages from the trial of all other issues. The motion relies on Transportation Ins. Co. v. Moriel to argue that net-worth evidence could prejudice the jury on other issues.
