rotinaj posted:Not for nothing, but sex assault stories in the news media don’t ever really have a long tail when it is just a bunch of allegations The story is definitely not dead in the water, as others have commented. But if you're looking for explosive new revelations, federal litigation probably isn't the place to get them outside of the allegations themselves. And new information probably won't come fast. I just looked at the dockets, and summons haven't even been served yet, which means that the defendants are not yet on the clock to either (1) answer the complaint (and file any counterclaims) or (2) move to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim. I imagine the defendants' attorneys are negotiating to accept service in exchange for a schedule to brief a motion to dismiss the complaint. It's a big complaint, so they'll probably want something like 45 or 60 days to file their brief, then Grant will get a similar amount of time to respond, and then the defendants will get somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 days to file a reply brief. Then the Court will take some time to rule on the motion to dismiss. A dispositive motion will take some time to decide--probably somewhere in the realm of 3-6 months. While they wait for a decision on a motion to dismiss, the parties will fight about whether to start discovery. Plaintiffs will push for it, Defendants will say it is premature before a motion to dismiss ruling. Once discovery actually starts, whenever it starts, it will be a slog with a ton of disputes over the production of sensitive materials. And all of that discovery will be subject to a protective order, which will require that particularly sensitive documents be filed under seal, i.e., away from the public eye. And the negotiation of a protective order will probably be more contentious in this case than most cases, given part of Grant's goal is to shed light on the culture of abuse at WWE. So yeah, absent something surprising, it will probably be a bit before we learn anything new in the court case itself.
