Translation: Defendants intend to bankrupt frivolous Plaintiffs with lawyer fees and sanctions. I also like the initial schedule: Depositions of fact witnesses to be completed by 12/17/2010. Initial disclosures by 3/8/2010. The parties will serve initial requests for production of documents by 3/22/2010. Initial expert reports due 2/11/2011. Rebuttal expert reports due 3/11/2011. Each expert's deposition will be completed by 4/15/2011. Fact discovery to be completed by 12/17/2010. Expert discovery to be completed by 4/15/2011. Final pre-trial conference: 1/6/2011 at 4:30. Counsel for the parties have conferred and their present best estimate of the length of trial is fifteen (15) days. Certain Defendants contemplate that they may request a jury trial. regards, alexander. P.S. "I'm insufficiently motivated to go set up a GNU/Linux system so that I can do the builds."
