Sheesh. I speak a couple of languages, but this is beyond me. Is it good news or not?
Its not good news or bad news. The Plaintiffs asked the judge to remove his stay of discovery. He denied it. The judge most likely won’t let that happen until he decides on what to do on the defenses motion to dismiss. If he denies the defense motion, discovery should come shortly thereafter.
We are in a holding pattern until Judge Carter decides the buck stops with him and the Obama’s motion to dismiss is denied and then discovery will commence.
This other stuff Orly is putting out is static. When you hear the words that Carter has decided on Obama’s “motion to dismiss” this case, then get serious about it.
The one thing that some keep pointing to is that he cast the dates as being firm now. It leads one to believe he is moving forward and he may just pocket the MTD until discovery takes place. It would avoid the appeal process for the defendants. And of course everyone knows what will happen with discovery. If that is the route the judge takes than I give him more credit than I thought I would. But we will have to wait..
