Re: Trial dates



They won't rule on the motions, denying them, and simply lift the stay, will they?

Great news on the trial dates.  I suppose it's too much to hope, but maybe somebody on the Government side will come to their senses and make this case go away before October.
 
Right now, the ball is in NMCCA's court.  They have two motions before them that are logically prerequisites for our mandamus petition -- the motion to give us access to the sealed exhibit and the motion for interrogatories.  To the best of my knowledge, the government hasn't filed a response to those.  (Of course, maybe the government filed and never told me; Maj Kirby's certification that he served all counsel with the motion to lift the stay appears to be incorrect; I've never received a copy, contrary to NMCCA rules.)
 
That said, we certainly don't want to wait too long before taking our next step in case NMCCA either does nothing or denies our motions.  I've been bouncing from deadline to deadline over the past week, but my deadline pressures will abate significantly after 2359 tomorrow night.  So I'm planning to start work in earnest of the mandamus petition on Thursday night.  My guess is that we'll have it ready to launch -- with whatever modifications are necessary depending on the outcome of our motion practice -- on Monday.  But I'd probably still hold off on filing it until NMCCA rules on our motions if the court hasn't done so by then.
 
Thoughts?

All:
Results of 802 Conf with Judge Jones this evening.
All agreed that 27 June is a no-go.
Jones said "both parties agree on a date and tell me what it is.  I'll referee if parties can't decide."
Haytham and I are going to propose (and will probably win a fight on) starting the trial 3-31 Oct 2011.
What's our next step in the appellate process?  In whose court is the ball?  How far down the field is it, and in which inning?
