Pre-trial conference continued again - this time until July 20.
Can you get us:
1) whether the pre-trial conference (PTC) was indepedently scheduled or part of a docket with multiple cases scheduled at the same time before the same judge?
2) what the Court's accepted/filed/noted reason was for the continuance (not necessarily the reality behind why it was continued)?
3) what, if any, motions or hearings were scheduled to be argued at the PTC?
Generally, it would seem odd that a Judge would allow a PTC to be continued twice. Even when it's known that the parties want more time before trial to get some kind of deal done or for evidence to be processed/exchanged, the Judge would still set a trial date in order to keep the parties moving. Judges are often graded by how quickly cases move through their courts. If you can get answers to the above questions, the continuances could make a little more sense.
