BME Litigation Update

BME responded to the complaint with a motion to dismiss. (A defendant can either answer or move to dismiss a complaint.) I do not practice in New Jersey, but as best as I can tell the date set for the motion (12/3/2012) means that PCFG must file its opposition 14 days prior to that, and BME must file any reply 7 days before that under Local Rule 7.1(d)(2)-(3). According to the docket entry, the motion will be decided without oral argument. I doubt that the judge will decide the merits of the motion by that date.

FYI, I have not read the motion or its accompanying memorandum and affidavits, so I will not answer any questions about their subtance. Also, I am having technical difficulties: new/updated page bodies are appearing below the left/navigation pane. My apologies for the technical glitch.

Couple things:

1. The docket (including links to a subset of the filed documents) is available at http://client-email.com/dockets/PCFGvBME.html ; if anyone wants documents not linked, please feel free to let me know.

2. I am not your lawyer unless we have a written engagement letter, signed by both of us.

3. I have not had a chance to review the documents. Too busy, plus this really is not my area of law. I am sorry about that. One thing to keep in mind as you read them is that you (like the judge) must distinguish between advocacy and accuracy. In other words, reading just one side's papers may sound very convincing. By the same token, reading the other side's papers may sound equally convincing. But only one side is going to win on any given issue.

I still look forward to taking a look at these myself, and I have not checked each link. Let me know if there are any technical problems; let your lawyer know if you have any legal questions.



I am an amateur at this, and it would be unwise to rely on my opinions without your own independent confirmation in consultation with an investment professional.
