Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[big-yank]

No trial granted after Sweeney's Docu-release #1. So the court is still waiting to rule on the motion to dismiss. There, obviously, was nothing in that batch that advanced the litigation for either side.

Did the content released, so far, push Judge Sweeney to want to see 11,000 more documents? I suppose that is possible. But I doubt it. My sincere guess is that after 3 years of discovery, the judge just wants to get to some point of decision. In some ways, I could see the judge actually empathizing with certain aspects to Sammons intervention letter (though surely not the nasty observations lobbed her way). I believe that the motion to compel reflects judicial exasperation over impasse after impasse. Could be more against the government side on this, but maybe not, too.

I still expect some government reaction regarding the ordered document release. They will have to respond to the show cause demand regarding paying plaintiff's attorneys for the compel motion cost reimbursement.

JMHO.
