I don’t get it. Why do you say that “Carter hasn’t tossed this case yet because Zero’s motion to dismiss has not been fully submitted to the Court for consideration”? I thought it was. What was incomplete?
Many Federal Judges routinly hold oral argument on motions to dismiss. Apparently Carter is one of them.
It was submitted just last Friday and the plaiontiff is entitled to respond. Motions in U.S. district copurts must be filed and served on the opposition a certain number of days prior to being considered/heard. The exact number escapes my memory right now. Federal judges normally hear motions one or two days per month.
It weas filed just last week in order stretch out the case.
