While Judge Ho ruled efficiently in Phunware, the timeline in Northwest may stretch further due to the complexity of the amended complaint and the broader implications of its legal arguments. A decision in Northwest could reasonably take 6–9 months from the date the amended motion is fully briefed.
In Phunware, the judge ruled on the MTD faster, potentially due to:
* A less extensive history compared to Northwest.
* The legal arguments may have been less complex or more straightforward.
In Northwest, the timeline for the amended MTD ruling could be extended longer due to:
* The complexity of re-evaluating amended allegations.
* The number of defendants and scope of allegations (Northwest involves multiple financial institutions).
So I think we see a ruling between Dec 14 and March 14 2025
