The end of this case has finally happened.

What we have here are the settlement documents, which, significantly, are not sealed.

Here's the scheduling order for the case. It's not difficult to comply with from a time standpoint, but he's also indicating that he will be hard-nosed about the time-line: "This schedule will not be altered/amended."

====================

MINUTE entry before the Honorable David H. Coar:

After denying e360's attempt to reboot this case, Judge Zagel decided to review all of the non-routine matters (in other words, substantive rulings). The following is his decision concerning the merits of e360's request to get a mulligan: "Having reviewed each of these rulings, the court finds no compelling reason to revisit them.

Can you say "grounds for appeal"?

I knew you could.

Judge Coar has denied e360's request to give the case a reboot. I think it's a good call on his part, but you can be certain that e360 will seek to get this decision overturned, probably in an interlocutory appeal.

Here is e360's counter-argument to Comcast's response to their request that this case receive a reboot.

Everyone has pretty much seen this one coming. E360Insight is asking the new judge to vacate all prior rulings in the case because of a conflict of interest.
