I doubt there will be a trial in 2014. The remainder of 2014 will be reserved for two motions by DECN for summary judgment (invited by the judge) and the DECN attack on the bond. If anything comes out of that process alive (remember the judge said any issue of fact will be decided by him and not a jury -- which precludes a total denial of a summary judgment based on fact) then they will enter 2015 with almost nothing on J&J's side of the ledger, and the beginnings of DECN's anti-trust case.

IMO it is not in DECN's best interests to mediate at the moment. Get the motions on file and force J&J to answer. Borrow some funds from a prosecution litigation fund and show J&J this is ALL about money. They understand money. They understand leverage. They understand that this judge means business. If there were a mediation before a sign of strength, J&J would attempt to get the weakest link to agree to almost anything. Shareholders of DECN are a weak link because they show J&J that DECN is the schlock J&J has tried to convince the judge that they are, but Shasta is the weakest link. Even if some shareholders hate management it still might not be a good time to sell. Of course a management critic has to own some shares.
