The court doc you posted says this:

“OPTEC shall deliver to counsel for the WS Group an executed Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice of the Action” and “immediate[ly] fil[e]” it."

It says "immediately", but doesn't specify what "immediately" means. I realize in a layman's world "immediately" means right now. But LEGALLY, "immediately" can mean something else. And without a SPECIFIC date being requested by the Defendants, it is MY OPINION that the Rules of Court I posted would TRUMP any ambiguous language written by the Defendant. Therefore, IT IS MY OPINION that Roger has 45 days to file.

As an aside, I BELIEVE the Defendants filed that because their Answer was due today, and they needed to file SOMETHING with the Court or be in violation of Court requirements to file a timely Answer.

And one more thing before I gotta go: I keep asking myself why would Roger want to stall the settlement and why would Mike want to hurry it along?

IT IS MY OPINION that's because the terms are unfavorable to Roger and favorable to Mike. And what kind of settlement would be unfavorable to Roger and favorable to Mike? A deal where WeShield becomes the parent company and OPTI becomes the subsidiary. Please refer to my previous post:

"You see, in my opinion, the acquisition deal ABSOLUTELY happened, and MIKE is going to win that lawsuit. So, when Mike wins the lawsuit, Roger's offer to settle will be to turn over controlling interest in OPTI to Mike. Mike will accept the offer because Mike wants to take WeShield public, which OPTI already is. WeShield will become the parent company and OPTI will become the subsidiary. And "Op-Shield" (just my OWN made up name for the new company, do you like it?) will be structured like Berkshire Hathaway (and I am NOT comparing OPTI/WeShield to Bershire Hathaway; I'm just providing an EXAMPLE):

Berkshire Hathaway's acquisition of many diverse firms follows with Buffett's oft-discussed strategy of buying undervalued assets (which, in my opinion, OPTI is) and holding onto them. In return, acquired subsidiaries can often continue to operate independently while gaining access to broader financial resources (which, in my opinion, is exactly what OPTI and Roger need). Subsidiaries perform unique operations (Fuel Maximizer??) that add value to the parent company (the parent company being WeShield, which will be involved in PPE) through diversification, revenue, earnings, and research & development. So, in other words, everyone wins. But the biggest winner of all will be the shareholders!!"
