Joint Scheduling Report

The Joint Scheduling Report due in the Bardfield case (which I mentioned here a couple weeks ago) has been filed:




There's a few new and interesting developments here, perhaps the most relevant being the proposed scheduling deadlines for the case:

Deadline to amend pleadings/add other parties to the lawsuit: September 24, 2010
Deadline for discovery to be completed by: October 15, 2010
Deadline to file dispositive motions: November 15, 2010

Proposed trial date: On or about the month of January 2011.

Typically, once a Joint Scheduling Report like this is approved and the private discovery period begins, the filings in a case become pretty quiet. So, if you see this blog become inactive for a spell, that's completely normal...it means there's nothing going on that we can see. An exception would be if there were discovery disputes; in that case we'd begin to see motions related to discovery issues (as happened in the DeForest case, for example).

So, just a heads up, we may be in for an extended quiet period here on The Forest Moon of Endor. Or not. We shall see...

Addendum 7/26/10: The joint scheduling report above has pretty much been made official by an Order:




Addendum 7/29/10: And the same procedure was just completed in the DeForest case:






So, the new schedule for the rest of the DeForest case looks like:

Deadline to add parties/amend pleadings: September 15, 2010
Discovery completed by: November 15, 2010
Dispositive motions filed by: December 15, 2010
Proposed trial date: May 2011
