So did anybody file anything interesting lately?
Let's take a look....
Remember that Banco Santander/Madoff case that was filed with much fanfare back in January?
Well from what I can tell the litigation hasn't progressed too far, even though it's in front of Judge Paul "Rocket Man" Huck.
The plaintiffs are still trying to serve everybody, some of the defendants have filed a big fat motion to dismiss (summarized as follows: "wow, this case sure has lots of foreigners!") and the plaintiffs are trying to conduct some jurisdictional discovery, PSLRA be damned.
Plus nobody can seem to agree on anything, even scheduling.
And you people like when I report on this stuff?

rumpole you state hack - read this:
1. Do not write long sentences. A sentence should not have more than ten or twelve words.
2. Each sentence should make a clear statement. It should add to the statement that went before. A good paragraph is a series of clear, linked statements.
3. Do not use big words. If your computer tells you that your average word is more than five letters long, there is something wrong. The use of small words compels you to think about what you are writing. Even difficult ideas can be broken down into small words.
4. Never use words whose meaning you are not sure of. If you break this rule you should look for other work.
5. The beginner should avoid using adjectives, except those of colour, size and number. Use as few adverbs as possible.
6. Avoid the abstract. Always go for the concrete.
7. Every day, for six months at least, practice writing in this way. Small words; short, clear, concrete sentences. It may be awkward, but it’s training you in the use of language. It may even be getting rid of the bad language habits you picked up at the university. You may go beyond these rules after you have thoroughly understood and mastered them.
Writing: Tell them what you're gonna tell them. Tell them. Tell them what you told them. It also helps to actually have something to say.
Props on the nude silver dude ;)
That case seems like a real stretch.
I enjoy the updates SFL but have two words:
