Not sure I agree that the schedule change will take the heat off of a settlement.
Might the production of some of the requested materials in an unredacted form (even if it is only reviewed by MNTA counsel) not potentially provide a smoking gun which could increase the pressure for one of the parties (most likely the defendants) to settle?
MNTA - schedule change. Amphastar joined in the motion and the court granted it, so trial is on January 7. There are various dates along the way by which the parties are to conclude fact and expert depositions, motions, etc.
