In a recent X post, defense lawyer James K. Filan shared the next key date in the Ripple-SEC lawsuit. According to a scan of a document attached to the post by Filan, the lawsuit parties are expected to jointly propose a briefing schedule about remedies by Nov. 9, 2023. If the parties cannot agree on a schedule, they should jointly request that the court set a briefing timetable. The change in the previous scheduling order was caused by Ripple's recent win, with its top executives, Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen, seeing dismissal of the charges against them. Notably, according to the document, the final pretrial conference on April 16, 2024, and the trial on April 23, 2024, are adjourned "sine die." Hogan explained the legal term, which translates from Latin as "without day," implying that the proceedings have been canceled with no plans to reschedule them.
