Plaintiffs are ordered to pay the Court Reporter costs associated with the cancelled depositions of David Linhardt. Linhardt's deposition is ordered to be completed by 9/30/2008.

Yours truly has been on vacation for the past 9 days, but that hasn't stopped the e360 Insight v. Spamhaus case from moving forward.

The exhibits are kind of fun to read, especially the first one wherein Judge Kocoras seems rather... displeased with e360 and their treatment of discovery in the case.

MINUTE entry before Judge Charles P. Kocoras: Motion hearing held on 4/29/2008. Defendant's motion to compel complete discovery responses and for an extension of time to complete discovery is granted. Plaintiffs are given to 5/13/2008 to comply with discovery requests. Status hearing and the discovery cut-off date are reset from 5/6/2008 to 8/5/2008 at 9:30 a.m.

Here is a Motion to Compel filed by Spamhaus. There's some interesting stuff here.

1) Mr. Linhardt blew off a deposition in January. Meaning that the deposition was properly noticed, but he just failed to show up. No reason for his non-appearance seems to have been provided. This is most definitely NOT a good thing for the judge to be finding out from e360's viewpoint.
