Nope, but good guess.
I'm using WIFI at a downtown Mariott hotel just two blocks away from the Denver district courthouse.
I got a wild hair and decided to attend the Status Conference this morning at 0900 MST. It'll probably last 30 - 60 mins. I have a brand new, legal notepad and will take good notes on what is discussed. ;)
I'll post when the conference is over. Probably going to be mundane legal mumbo jumbo but it'll be fun to be part of it! One thing status conferences review are pending settlements between parties so it could be very interesting.
Logging off now...should be back around 1000 - 1030. If later, the conference is lasting longer than I expected.

status conference n. a pre-trial meeting of attorneys before a judge required under Federal Rules of Procedure and in many states to inform the court as to how the case is proceeding, what discovery has been conducted (depositions, interrogatories, production of documents), any settlement negotiations, probable length of trial, and other matters relevant to moving the case toward trial. Court rules usually require the filing of a status conference statement prior to the conference. In Federal courts the status conference is also the occasion for setting a trial date.
