The judge entered a scheduling order with a trial date shortly after the case was filed. That doesn’t mean the case will actually go to trial on that date or at all.
The Clintons will or already have filed various motions to dismiss. If denied, these will be followed by motions for summary judgment. If denied, these will be followed by motions for continuance and interlocutory appeals.
Meanwhile, Klayman has served the Clintons’ attorneys with notices of deposition, basically saying “I intend to take your clients’ depositions on these dates and at these locations.” These will be followed by motions to quash on multiple grounds (including objections to the location, date and time, and objections to depositions being taken before the court rules on any and all pending motions to dismiss and/or summary judgment and/or before written discovery is completed).
On minor cases without deep pocketed defendants, I have seen these discovery fights drag on for months and years. In this case, you have defendants with unlimited money who will spend whatever it takes to derail this train.
I hope that Klayman is able to force their depositions, but I am not holding my breath that he will be able to do so anytime soon.
Thanks, I see what you’re saying.
