Does that mean it is now too late to file a motion for summary judgement too?

The last stay ordered by Judge Ward ended on Dec. 1. It has been nearly two weeks and he has not responded to either of the two most recent motions to stay.

The only hiccup from the court has been to reschedule the pre trial conference from Monday to Tuesday.

Could it be that the judge is just ignoring all motions in favor of business as usual? Maybe he is just sending a message that says follow my schedule now and oh by the way, something has come up and we have had to reschedule the pre-trial conference for Tuesday, please sign the acknowledgement and return it in three days.

The pressure is certainly on for settlement to occur. Does it still seem likely that they really have settled already? Without it, there could be some vacation plans cancelled over the holidays (for the attorneys involved).
