Good Question FnF - Glen can you elaborate! Also - any thoughts on the Thompson Nomination moving to the Senate floor?

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.

motion for summary judgment.

It's not. MTD deadline has no affect on when the judge will rule on the motion.
