As The Calif. Tariffs Case In SF Rumbles Toward Trial, New Agreed Expedited Discovery Deadlines Ordered.


Do see the below. What a strange time in America, it is -- indeed.

The government can no longer simply say it "hasn't enough legal help", to try to forestall any judicial reckoning -- for Tangerine's manifest lawlessness.

The government chose to act ultra vires -- it must hire more lawyers, if it is having trouble covering all the challenges to the lawlessness, in a timely fashion. The government has no right to use any specific lawyer, nor any right to argue things must slow down to let these lawyers take Summer vacations -- when Tangerine 2.0 has moved to a near "militia state" -- uninvited in southern California, and has tried to impose tariffs that disproportionately punish California business concerns.

So, here the latest expedited discovery schedule, ordered this morning, by USDC Judge Breyer, in SF (on the Fourth, no less!):

. . .The Court sets the following expedited discovery schedule:

July 9 By Noon: Plaintiffs and Defendants submit their respective positions on the depositions to be conducted in briefs not to exceed 5 pages of substantive text each;

➣ July 25: all expedited discovery completed, with Defendants to make an initial production of documents by July 11 and continue with rolling productions in advance of depositions;

➣ July 30: Plaintiffs file supplemental brief in support of their preliminary injunction motion;

➣ August 4: Defendants file supplemental opposition to Plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motion; and

➣ August 6: Plaintiffs file supplemental reply brief in support of their preliminary injunction.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED. . . .


Now you know. Go, be excellent to one another.
