XRP Lawsuit Nears Resolution As Court Grants Order

The court has granted the motion to amend the order pertaining to judgment and stay in the XRP lawsuit, as per the latest California district court filing. Both parties submitted a proposed order to the court, agreeing that there was no reason to delay judgment as class claims were resolved.

Plaintiff requested the court to make an “express finding in an amended judgment” to avoid any uncertainty about the finality of the judgment. However, a claim for relief against Ripple and other defendants remains ‘stayed’ until the final resolution of appeals in the XRP lawsuit.

“Within 30 days after final resolution of the appeal of the class claims, the parties shall file a joint motion to lift the stay on the docket in this case,” as per the filing.

In addition, Ripple filed a bill of costs, a declaration of Litigation Director Ana Guardado, and 65 exhibit documents on details of litigation costs, lawyer expenses, and other details leading to the court order.
