Thanks mouton. I would think the court would have to grant MNTA the extra time considering how difficult Amphastar has been. Is Amphastar's behavior pretty normal for a discovery case?
MNTA has filed an emergency motion to extend discovery and push back the trial date to January 2013, citing the delays in discovery.
That’s unfortunate; the original start date of 10/9/12 seemed like it allowed enough time for discovery. A later start for the trial—if MNTA’s request is granted by the Court—will lessen the imperative for the parties to settle the case (assuming the Appellate Court does not reinstate the preliminary injunction).
