And one party can request summary judgment in their favor too. The REAL question is why the other judge hasn’t yet rendered a verdict on the NEA case that ended last year. Once the court case is final, that should end the case. It shouldn’t drag out to see if it can be used for horse trading in a subsequent unrelated issue.
