Grasshopper, J&J understands that everyone that competes with them understands that they are total charlatans and scumbags. They are also deviously smart. They know as well as everyone else that the trial judge doesn't have a conflict this Friday, even though he said so. This was the only event on this judge's calendar. So J&J concludes as the party that made the Motion, just like Mr. S did, that the judge kicking the can down the road for three weeks will not be good for them. So by delaying the hearing until January 2018, even after they were granted one delay already from October 5, 2017 until November 17, 2017, helps them not at all unless delaying the inevitable is a good reason. So, J&J must have something else in mind, and by the way I now believe J&J will ask for a delay until April 2018, not January. And the reason they will give is that there are holidays, and then early 2018 trials to attend to, and of course this is such a little matter and DECN are scumbags like they are portrayed on public forums. But there is another reason J&J needs to delay further, and that is because they actually fear the inevitable, perhaps not $400 million worth, but certainly $75 million (Mr. S's number).
J&J intends to try to buy 18 months, not 30 more days or 8 more weeks. And since I feel to my toes that the judge has made up his mind, J&J is playing their last pre-appeal card.
