UPDATE: August 22th, 2024
There was a Status Conference conducted on July 9th with Judge Papillon. During the Status Conference, Judge Papillon moved the trial date from September 9, 2024 to June 9, 2025. He pushed the trial date because he needed more time to review all the Motions filed by both parties in order to rule on them fairly and also to urge both parties to set this case for mediation in an attempt to settle it. Today, we received confirmation that the mediation has been set for November 20, 2024. We will let you know as the date approaches what we would need from you, that includes appearances. If anything changes, I will send out another update.
