ORDER
On December 31, 2009, the parties (except Sam Sloan and Gregory
Alexander) filed a Notice to the Court of Tentative, Possible, Partial
Settlement and stated in paragraph 3 that �the parties have agreed to
postpone the discovery deadline as seen by the attached Exhibit A1 to
allow the parties to have additional time to try to finalize the
possible settlement.� The parties are reminded that they cannot modify
scheduling deadlines without seeking leave of court. Further, the
parties request in paragraph 4 that the Court �not make any rulings [on
any pending motions] at this time and/or formally or informally abate
the case to see if the settlement can be finalized.� Such requests are
DENIED.
SAM R. CUMMINGS
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SO ORDERED.
Dated January 4, 2010.
The USCF wants to settle the lawsuit, and Brian Lafferty is part of
the request to get a settlement. The USCF and Brain Lafferty must feel
that Susan Polgar complaints in her lawsuit are valid. If the USCF and
Brain Lafferty feel that Susan Polgar complaints in her lawsuit are
not true, they just have to request to have the case dismissed.
Oh Brian Lafferty, why are you agreeing to a settlement if you feel
that the legal complaint filed by Susan Polgar is nonsense. Why
Lafferty you want to settle.
Not so much.
1. Cost. Trials are very, very expensive, even if you win.
2. Just for fun, let's reverse your argument. If Polgar's claims are
valid, why is she walking away without any payment?
3. The fact that one side of the lawsuit has a winning case does not
mean the party that is in the right can wave a magic wand and make the
lawsuit go away. As a matter of fact, Mr. Lafferty and numerous other
defendants have asked that the cases against them be found to be
baseless as a matter of law. Those motions are still pending.
He Dougy...how's iron city?
