You guys are lucky I wasn't feeling well and was mostly offline the last two days. I was thinking of shutting the thread at 999 just for the outrage.
I was hard enough getting on the 1000 page as someone kept deleting their older posts.
When this thread moves into pages with numbers 6 digits or more you guys are going to have to create bigger buttons or else we won’t be able to read them.

Axamonitor is now officially reporting: no Does.
Also, apparently the so-called "Doe Deadline" was incorrectly reported originally? I had heard June 8th, but Axamonitor now reports it was May 25th.

NO DOES The deadline for adding parties to the case, and for amending pleadings actually passed on May 25, according to the judge's scheduling order:
The confusion stemmed from the pretrial schedule originally proposed by both sides in their Joint Report submitted to the court ahead of their May 9 scheduling conference with the judge. That schedule, since superseded, had the Doe deadline on June 8, and the amended pleadings due June 30.
At the scheduling conference, Klausner moved up the trial date, as well as other deadlines that had been proposed in the Joint Report. I've updated the Timeline of the Case and the Doe articles to reflect this.
That no Does were named shouldn't be too surprising since the Joint Report indicated both sides weren't planning on naming additional parties.
« All motions to join other parties or to amend the pleadings shall be filed and served within fifteen (15) days of the date [May 10, 2016] of this order. »

As you can see, it can get weird at the best of times (this is why I was never a Calendar Clerk).
Either way, we are Doe-free.
Either way, we are still looking for a response to the counterclaim, which is due on the 13th of June - Carlos and I agree from our reading of the documents.
FYI, not naming Does does the following -
- it focuses the defense on one person who cannot point fingers at others
- it does not muddy the waters going after people who might not have much they could contribute financially
- it moves the matter closer to the direction of a settlement, but then there's that pesky counterclaim in the way which added unnecessary complexity
- it makes it easier to call those people are witnesses, even adverse ones
Anyway, less drama this way - and I'm sorry if people are disappointed. The case goes on, though, and it's still not magically settled after the Abrams/Lin pronouncement. Imagine that.
He'll drink to THAT!
Plus it kinda takes teeth out of the argument that CBS/Paramount are "suing the fans! Oh noes!"
Nope. They are just suing one person, regardless of when his mother woke him up at age eight.
