District Court Judge Manuel Real has ordered IGE's Debonneville and Pierce to a status conference at 10AM US Pacific time tomorrow morning (Friday, 25 April). As you may recall, Debonneville and Pierce were settling and had until 14 April to finalize that.
Well, apparently it hasn't been settled and Judge Real wants to know what the heck is up with that, as nothing has been filed by the due-date, though both parties said that they had agreed on all the essentials.
It isn't clear if the session will be closed-doors or a phone-conference given that it will probably deal with some of the nitty-gritty of the settlement between the disputing pair, but we'd give a lot to be a fly on the wall at that particular session, as Judge Real has a bit of a reputation.
Bet you didn't know that there are user-reviews for judges, much like there are for games. Judge Real doesn't rate highly in these reviews, and many of the comments paint a highly unflattering picture of this Jurist (though reviews are somewhat mixed). [Thanks to Broken Toys for bringing that to our attention]
The three-way between Debonneville, Pierce and Real promises to be an exciting session, and we're looking forward to seeing how that all works out, especially as it cuts right to the heart of IGE.
