04/10/2023 107 ORDER: The parties have filed a Motion to Ascertain Status (Doc. No. 106 ). The Motion is very well taken GRANTED. The Court is aware of the pending dispositive motions in this case (Doc. Nos. 60 , 65 ), and can assure the parties that the motions are not on the metaphorical back burner and wishes to resolve them as soon as feasible. Unfortunately, the Court is attempting to deal with a large number of criminal cases (which take precedence over civil cases, as counsel presumably are aware). The Court is in the beginning phases of a criminal trial that has been publicly estimated to take six weeks to try. But the Court can state that it has begun work on the dispositive motions and will continue to work on them throughout the trial when not on the bench. Signed by District Judge Eli J. Richardson on 04/10/23. (DOCKET TEXT SUMMARY ONLY-ATTORNEYS MUST OPEN THE PDF AND READ THE ORDER.)(ad) (Entered: 04/10/2023)

06/07/2023 109 ORDER: In further response to the Motion to Ascertain status (Doc. No. 106 ), the Court provides the following update: The Court is aware that the parties have been kept waiting far too long for decision-making from this Court, and they have been forced to draw on far more reserves of patience than they should have. The Court can assure them, however, that this is not the result of the undersigned’s lack of diligence or attention to the docket. Nor is it due a lack of concern about this case or the issues it presents; far to the contrary. The parties can expect that within two weeks, they will be provided by the Court with a fulsome discussion of the issues that will serve to advise the parties of exactly where this matter stands.
