On July 28, 2010, Judge Margaret Morrow signed an order amending the schedule in the litigation Fedor and M-1 Nederland commenced against Affliction pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
The order pushes out some of the previously set deadlines, including the deadline for initial expert disclosures to January 28, 2011. As I reported here, on July 23, 2010, Affliction already disclosed that at least one of its purported "experts" was boxing promoter Lou DiBella -- Affliction also filed DiBella's "expert" report" which I discussed in my earlier post.
The order sets the trial date at June 7, 2011 although that date will likely move as it approaches given that the parties may make dispositive motions after the discovery cut-off. As I posted here, Fedor's deposition will take place in early August while he is in the United States for the 2010 M-1 Selection-Americas event. Bottom line, for now at least, if the case goes to trial, it will, at the earliest, be in approximately 10 months.
It is also worth noting that Affliction has still not filed a new counterclaim.
