The able Chicago USDC Judge Kness has ruled that the Fitton shills must promptly submit to discovery, about what they knew -- and when. This discovery will precede general questions about whether they ever lived in Evanston, or owned property here.
Here's the latest -- just released to the public docket, this afternoon:
. . .MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness:
Plaintiffs' [Fitton shills'] motion [53] to stay briefing on Defendant's motion to bifurcate discovery until the intervention issue is resolved is denied.
To be sure, intervention by the United States might have some effect on the discovery schedule in this case, but that possibility does not warrant staying briefing on Defendant's motion to bifurcate. Any effect of a favorable intervention ruling, including whether supplemental briefing or modification of any discovery schedule is appropriate, can be addressed if and when the United States becomes a party to the case.
On the Court's initiative, the due date for Plaintiffs' response to Defendant's motion is extended to July 17, 2026. Defendant's reply, if any, must be filed on or before July 31, 2026.
The August 6, 2026 hearing is reset to 8/25/2026 at 10:00 A.M. . . .
Indeed. Sanity prevails in Chicago's federal courts -- once again.
