A Case Management Conference was held on February 28, at which Robert Sims of Latham & Watkins LLP appeared as additional co-counsel with Phil Telfeyan of EJUL.
Judge Gonzalez Rogers considered CBAA’s request for additional discovery, and re-opened discovery effectively immediately through June 30, without restrictions.
Judge Gonzalez Rogers also considered Plaintiffs’ February 16 notice of “plausible alternatives,” and in acknowledgment of the parties’ disagreements concerning the nature of those alternatives and the implications for discovery and trial, ordered Plaintiffs to file either a revised notice of “plausible alternatives” or a statement indicating that their position on the matter rests on their prior notice, by March 9.
A further case management conference was held on April 11, 2018 at 2:00 p.m., at which the Court set the case for a September 17, 2018 bench trial, and also set related trial deadlines.
