Need a little help (Time issues).

Astonishing, I know. Still, there's hope. The judge could walk in, say "See you next week" and walk out again

You mean could I shut down the trolley power in San Francisco? Mayyyybeeeee.......

True. Apparently IB caused delays by adding defendants whom they never served with summonses, then those defendants were stricken. This has added a whole year of delays. Beyond me why the judge would put up with crap like that.

Over and over it seems that IB's legal strategy is to dribble away XenForo's legal budget until they throw in the towel. (My opinion...I am not a lawyer.)

Here's hoping the judge has had enough of the antics...

For those wishing to follow along, the motion before the court this morning is here: http://xflegal.com/xfl/2012/xfl-158.pdf

Some judges do back flips in order for there to be no reason to appeal/overturn their judgements. Judges have almost as many stats kept on them as baseball pitchers. Those numbers are looked at when they are considered for promotion. The really good judges don't care.

Oh, wait, the court is in Los Angeles. No go. No one rides the bus in LA!

The "official" word from the XenForo crowd is

Which sounds like the judge has brought someone in to sort out the he-said-she-said. This also suggests the presiding judge is not warm to the idea of a full trial, but wants to cover himself when he puts an end to it all. (I am still not a lawyer.)

Yup. But don't assume that was an accident

In my state, it's state law that the courthouse has to provide a secure place to let you check your weapons, at least.

Personally, I'd skip being a lawyer and go straight to being a judge. No one's gonna tell a judge what he can pack

Next step in the Xenforo suit happens on 2/13, a settlement conference. It is unlikely that a settlement will happen, but the judge is calling the conference anyway to make any trial more appeal-resistant.
