So, to sum up everything in more undestandable language (I am not native english speaker and law texts are not my cup of tea).
1. There is going to be a judical settlement between Amiga Inc. and Hyperion on which Eyetech and Itec will appear. The settlement will be held in October and will be conducted by the judge Kelley Arnold (asked by both parties).
2. After the failure of settlement, the Court has 45 days to set the following deadlines of:
- Discovery cutoff
- Dispositive motion cutoff
and dates of:
- Trial Date
- Lodging Date
In my understanding the trial might be as well next year or in two years. It doesn't say that it is 45 days after the judical settlement. It only says that 45 days after the settlement the Trial Date has to be set.
Am I correct?
BTW, what is the Lodging Date? I looked up in several dictionaries and none of them defines this as a law term. I figured out that this is the date until which you can issue a motion of complaint to the sentence after the trial. Am I correct?
