Thanks Gman for the heads up although I dont have pacer but will certainly take your word for it. Id also like to share with the board a message posted by plutonium on 7/19/2017 regarding J&J filing a summary judgement.

"My good friend who posted on the message board until the threats chased him off, Mr. Sensitivity, believes that J&J lawyers will file for summary judgement and believes that sometime in early Novembers they will lose in a route. He believes this loss will be a major turning point and pretty much force J&J lawyers to go back to their client and say, it can only get worse from hereon, and sometime around late January or early February 2018 the case would be settled by court ordered mediation by a Federal Magistrate who knows both parties well, Which would mean a trip to San Francisco. On the other hand, a Las Vegas based Magistrate might be called in. Mr. Sensitivity does not believe J&J would want to take a that chance down 0-2 in the count.
It appears that the trial judge likes Decn and appeared to be offended that in J&J's motions to dismiss, heard in March 2017, they actually expected the judge to just take their word for it. The case has been fast-tracked since then."
