See cheynew's post below. The Judge took the case off calendar and will issue a ruling on the pleadings with no hearing. We may see something before May 5th.
If everyone wants the below to be so before they can announce anything significant then I would argue we are weeks away if not months. If this is the case, I don't think management is going to want dismissed case, extend options, etc. and then announce a partnership the next day. That to me would look a little suspicious.
