Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[clarencebeaks21]

March 23 is the deadline for parties to file their final best shot at at winning without need of trial: a motion to dismiss for summary judgment (MSJ), pre-trial. I assume we will see concurrent filings by both P and D.

And after that, there are still 2 more distinct volleys to reply & then respond.

After all that volleying, the judge issues an order usually within a few days (presently expected by May 11) granting or denying the respective MSJs, resulting in either a guaranteed trial, or, if D wins on its MSJ, P can appeal once more to the Fifth Circuit.

So to reiterate the district judge **can still dismiss the claim** and thereby preclude trial. Tick tock.
