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.

alexander.
