Nope, you thought wrong. They're just closing some venues and trying to determine how to consolidate the different overlapping litigation locals...thanks...
I believe the schedule, below, is the latest production:
Defendants’ Position: Defendants disagree that Plaintiff is entitled to any relief and that, e.g., Plaintiff is owed no unpaid wages. The issues in this case substantially overlap with the Central District Kronstadt Case and as noted above, on May 7, 2014, Defendants filed a motion to transfer this case to the Central District of California. Dkt. 33. The hearing for the motion to transfer will be held on June 6, 2014. On May 16, 2014, Defendants filed an ex parte motion in the Central District Kronstadt case to modify the Scheduling Order in order to accommodate the transfer and consolidation with this case, as well as the transfer and consolidation of the Ben Chang Case. [Central District Kronstadt Dkt. No. 177]. Plaintiff opposes the ex parte motion. 4. MOTIONS Currently pending before this Court are three motions: (1) Defendants’ Motion to Transfer Venue to the Central District (Dkt. 33); (2) Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss Defendants’ Counterclaims (Dkt. 35); and Plaintiff’s Application for Writ of Attachment and Right to Attach Order (Dkt. 30). The hearing for Defendants’ Motion to Transfer Venue will be held on June 6, 2014; Plaintiff shall file its Opposition by May 21, 2014, and Defendants shall file their Reply in support of their Motion by May 28, 2014.
