Settlement

If parties choose to settle the case then it would avoid further litigation costs. This can provide possible outcomes like providing certainty and the potential return in business for the defendants.

Motion To Reconsider

This move will seek a reversal of the partial summary judgment ruling ordered by Judge Analisa Torres. The motion will assert that the court made a major error of law in the ruling. However, if this gets granted then the district court judge will need to withdraw or modify its ruling. This would be required to be filed within the first 14 days after the Summary Judgment announcement i.e. 27 July 2023.

Interlocutory Appeal

This appeal will also seek a reversal of the ruling but the appellate court must agree to hear the appeal. However, the appeal is accepted only in exceptional cases as it can delay the trail. This must be filled by 31 August 2023.
