April 26, 2017 Filing 43 FIRST AMENDED complaint by Diane Kelleher against American Blue Ribbon Holdings LLC (Marconi, Jerome)
April 24, 2017 Filing 42 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Status hearing held. Plaintiff is directed to file the Second Amended Complaint as a separate document on the docket. Third-party Defendant Walter Williams's answer due 05/17/2017. Plaintiff's counsel had waived service for Walter Williams last year. Plaintiff has been gathering information on liens to make a final push for settlement. To promote the possibility of settlement, Plaintiff shall make a formal demand by 05/08/2017 on Defendant, explaining in detail the basis for liability, itemizing damages, and making a good-faith demand that takes into account the risks of litigation, the time and expense of litigation.

Defendants shall submit a.pdf copy of the demand and the offers to chambers through the Proposed Order e-mail account.

April 10, 2017 Filing 41 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: In view of the most recent status report, the parties shall proceed with the expert deposition on 04/11/2017. A status hearing is set for 04/24/2017 at 8:30 a.m., at which time the parties shall be ready to report on the proposed next step. But the Court flags the following: first, there will not be two rounds of summary judgment motions, so if the defense wants to file a summary judgment motion *before* a defense expert disclosure, then the defense is alerted that there will not be a second motion after the defense expert disclosure. Second, with regard to a Daubert / Rule 702 challenge, the Court would require the issue to be briefed in the summary judgment motion itself. Very often a stand-alone Rule 702 challenge is too abstract without a concrete setting of the issues, both factual and legal, presented by the summary judgment motion. Extra pages for the briefing is fine; the key point is to brief all of the issues together. Emailed notice (slb, )
