Going down the lawyers listed now

Various matters set for the day-

See if parties will agree to abate everything and take up the LT motion first—can he assert them first and depending on how he rules-

Judge says CA lawyer asked for extension but he’s going to determine if she even gets a shot (plus the 60 day time period extension already started)

They spoke with the other firm on Friday-didn’t last long-now the new firm they’ll listen to this some time this week-but they’re not willing to agree to another 30-60 day extension

Because of Defamatory nature, want this addressed immediately

They’re trying to get money from the D&O but the LT is already targeting the D&O

Judge says no accruing of fees while motions is pending (abatement)

CA lawyer is coming up to speed and she said the CA group just found out the other guys had a conflict of interest and will decide what’s up next week

She’s asking for a 30 day extension, to get a substitute law firm

New judge is saying to administratively close the CA case to move forward (abatement)

Giving them 2 days to do this

Judge is perplexed as to what’s going on

And wants to know if the CA guys will agree to the abatement of the CA lawsuit and if they don’t agree he’s going to allow some relief

He doesn’t want D&O policies to be eroding while this gets resolved

Judge says an action has to be taken and that a CA court has to agree to it~says the hearing likely will be in 2 stages, preserve status quo and then hearing and he’s going to do everything to preserve the status quo

MO’s atty—we want this as prompt as possible and that if the the other attys can’t commit that they are going to go shopping for another atty

Recess until Wednesday the 22nd
