Final Settlement Documents ... and Judgment

It looks like the mediation conference yesterday in the Bardfield case managed to mediate away any remaining obstacles to a settlement; at least that's according to the mediator's report:

As a result, the parties are now jointly making an emergency motion for two more weeks time, in order to file "all final settlement documents and judgment" with the court:

Thus, the new new new new anticipated settlement date of the Bardfield case is now March 11, 2011.

No new filings in the DeForest case as yet. As I mentioned previously, the deadline for a mediation report in that case is March 4, 2011.

Addendum 3/11/11: This is beginning to feel a bit like Lucy and Charlie Brown with the football. We have here another extension motion in the Bardfield case, this one for 10 days (until March 21, 2011):



What's interesting, I think, is the fact that this one is not a joint motion:


Hmmmm.

And there's been nothing new filed in the DeForest case to date. So, back to waiting we go ...

Mediation

It appears the anticipated settlement of the Bardfield case did not quite pan out. Both parties are now moving ahead with the next step of the litigation, the oft-postponed mandatory mediation conference. This is scheduled for tomorrow:



No new filing in the DeForest case (yet). However, the court has set a March 4 deadline for a mediation report to be filed there.
