| 2013-05-06 | 48 | 0 | Order | ORDER. Oral argument is CANCELED. The Court believes that the pending motions turn on the issue whether the published statements were true at the time they were published, i.e., in 2010. As it appears from the parties' briefing that there is no genuine dispute that the statements were true in 2010, and as this issue is not one for which discovery will likely be beneficial, the Court will treat the pending motions as motions for summary judgment under Rule 12(d). By May 27, 2013, Defendants shall file copies of the relevant articles and other published statements to the docket, and Plaintiff shall file a notice indicating whether she believes that the contents of the articles were false at the time they were published, and, if so, the factual basis for her contention. Any party is free to submit by May 27, 2013 any other material that might be pertinent to the motions. Signed by Judge Michael P. Shea on 5/6/2013.(Lake, G.) (Entered: 05/06/2013) | ||

| 2013-05-30 | 55 | 0 | Order | ORDER. Plaintiff's 53 affidavit does not comply with the Court's order dated May 6, 2013. By no later than May 31, 2013, Plaintiff shall file the requested affidavit indicating whether Plaintiff has a good-faith belief that the statements in the articles at issue were false when they were first published in 2010, and, if so, what the evidentiary basis is for her belief. The affidavit shall also include a statement explaining why sanctions should not be imposed for failure to follow a Court order. The failure to file an affidavit complying with this order will be treated as an admission that Plaintiff does not have sufficient evidence to create a triable issue as to whether the statements were true when first published.
