Lawsuit Update

Raj reports we are still waiting for the judge to rule on motions filed that are critical to moving forward. Most notably: can a non-voting non-stock corporation be self-represented (usually must be represented by council)? Raj will file another motion to compel/nudge the court to rule on prior motion. Net/net, we don’t know if we need to have representation on Jan 24 court date. Holidays may be causing delays, the judge has a full docket . . .
