The real story in Noah Sidoff's lawsuit against Royal Inn is Michael Acosta's filings

 

I have been adding updates to the December 2023 post for this lawsuit Noah Sidoff filed against Royal Inn. Yesterday, I finally had time to check what happened at the July 5 hearing. As previously reported a few times, Michael Acosta is no longer eligible to practice law. He was a no show on July 5 but managed to file paperwork as real party of interest. Some of his filings on July 5 you cannot even read because Acosta's printer or the device belonging to whoever printed it for him is out of ink.  Acosta's proof of service is from a convicted and repeat criminal Bret Swortzel who is a former client of Acosta's.

Readiness conference-Trial setting is scheduled for 9/13. 9/16, 9/17 and  9/18 are dates scheduled for a three day trial.

You can read July 5 court minutes, an amended pretrial conference statement from Royal Inn's attorneys and take a look at Acosta's filings.

9/13: Readiness conference continued by Sidoff. 9/16, 9/17 & 9/18 dates vacated. Settlement conference on 10/1/24; Readiness Conference on 10/18/24; and Trial De Novo rescheduled for 10/21, 10/22 and 10/23/24.

10/1/24: Settlement conference vacated.

10/18/24:  At the Readiness Conference today, 10/21, 10/22, 10/23/24 dates were vacated. Another settlement conference scheduled for 12/10/24. By stipulation, the readiness conference continued and rescheduled for 4/4/25, Trial for 4/7/25, 4/8/25 & 4/9/25.

I am no longer updating shuffling of dates. I will follow the case if I have time.
