Misleading?
RobertBruce:
--- Quote from: ""sensai"" ---As with any class action suit, there is a signup period for plaintiffs. This is probably the 18 months your referring to. It seems like many posters are harboring a lot of anger and jump to conclusions without really knowing what they are talking about.
--- End quote ---
Yet you somehow do? The reality is you havent got the slightest clue. Or would you care to explain how you think Len would even know what the sign up period was?
LMJ630:
From the court itself:
10/10/2006 ORAL ORDER granting 16 Proposed Consent Order. The defendants shall answer or otherwise respond to plaintiffs' complaint on or before 11/20/06. Entered by Judge William C. O'Kelley on 10/10/06. (dcs) (Entered: 10/10/2006)
Anyone can call the courthouse and find out information. Just ask for the Clerk of Courts.

what does that mean? i am not sure i understand what that last post meant...meaning...i don't know what the court is doing...are they allowing the suit or is this still part of the signing up portion?

It means that the hosejob is starting now, and the judge generously gave them 40 days to respond to it.
LMJ630:
Please bear in mind that my understanding of the federal court system is limited - my experience is more with state systems - so if I get something wrong, please correct me.
The defendants in the case have until 11/20 to answer the original complaint filed by the plaintiffs. Basically, they have to submit a paper saying, "No, I didn't do this, or this, or this." They have to rebut every accusation from the original complaint. Most likely they will also submit a motion to dismiss.
In regards to more plaintiffs being added: the original complaint requested class action status. I didn't see anywhere that the judge has certified the case as a class action yet. If he does, then plaintiffs can be added throughout the process - I'm not sure if that would delay the case but it may if the discovery process has to start anew for each plaintiff. I'm not sure if more plaintiffs can be added if the case is not certified as a class action.
Hope this helps.
