Plaintiffs and attorneys should not be in conference with the judge without the defendants attorney unless the defendants attorney is on the phone with them.
Has anyone seen Jablonski in the court room?
I don’t think there were any defense attorneys called into conf. not much info being posted on FR so I don’t know anything add’l. nothing going on in the courtroom other than waiting.
I have not anyone on at the defense table since 8:44 when I tuned in.
The judge did not come out into the court room. He sent out a clerk who announced “All parties and attorneys are asked to see the judge for a “pre-trial conf.”
If defense has not showed up after being duly notified, court can proceed to summary judgement based on plaintiff's evidence.
This is especially true when defendant has notified the court that they WILL NOT SHOW UP.
