They'd better hurry up, KJ is not getting any younger.

Ivy, I know this was asked before, but I cannot remember the answer (see ref my previous post:)), can someone else take over this case if KJ passes before its concluded?

Yeah you remember we were discussing that maybe one of the reasons why they are appealing, is that if she died her winnings, if she wins the case, would go to her heirs. To me, that is the only reason why they would allow someone at her age to endure such a cruel and time consuming experience and activity. They feel even if she dies her winnings will survive.

Let's see if the attorney did better this time around.
 
09/26/2014 Motion filed. For leave to file surreply brief by counsel for respondents AEG et al.
 
^^Funny!! Yeah what does the surreply brief mean. Is that the name they give it when it is not the first brief? You know like redirect cross examination?
 
reply to the reply brief.

normally there's opening brief (by Jacksons), response brief (by AEG) and reply brief (by Jacksons). Now AEG wants to reply to the reply brief.
 
Is that it then, or is there going to be more replies before judge start mullin' over the case?
 
This is getting comical now ^^. I would like to read AEG's response to the reply brief.

:blink: It sounds like a legal version of a hamster in a wheel! How many times can they reply to each other's briefs and for how long? Is there a time limit, a number limit? No wonder our courts are clogged up with :bs
 
09/30/2014 Order filed.
The motion filed with this Court September 26, 2014, for leave to file surreply brief by counsel for respondents AEG et al. is denied.
 
So no going backward and forward with the response brief right?

Ivy what next?
 
^
oral hearing and then waiting for a decision
 
^^Does that mean that finally the court is stepping in to stop the "hamster in the wheel" [thanks Shelia] process!!!
 
Good news!

I believe the AEG reply would be allowed if there was new information in the Jacksons’ reply to their response. It seems the AEG reply would rehash points already discussed so, time has been saved.

I wish the Jacksons' success with this appeal.

LOL.. This hasn't been really a hamster in the wheel situation. Pretty routine appeal with just 1 month extra time for each brief.. so an average appeal takes about 15 months..so if we get a decision by Feb 2015 this would be pretty routine and average. and I think that's when this one would approximately be decided.

HTWF case was a real "hamster in the wheel" and I think they still have an open request in HTWF case. I just got so tired and bored to follow that one..
 
^^Funny!! I got so used to the "hamster in the wheel process with especially Johnson, that after a while all the cases seems to be like that. Glad to hear that this one has not sunk into that situation yet.

11/19/2014 Reply filed to: Appellant's reply to respondent's response to appellant's request to continue argument
11/20/2014 Grant request to continue oral argument. Appellant's request to continue argument is granted. The above-entitled matter is rescheduled for January 22, 2015 at 9:00 a.m.

so oral argument has been moved to January 22.

As for media don't worry, court's ruling will be available online.
 
Oral arguments scheduled today

Oral Argument Date/Time: 01/22/2015 09:00 AM

Just fyi:
Oral argument
At some point after briefing, the parties are given the opportunity to have oral argument in front of the panel of three judges deciding the case. Oral argument is short and, ideally, involves not so much a lawyer delivering a monologue, as making an argument that is interrupted by pointed questions from the bench. Often, the questions dictate the rest of the argument. There is no right to oral argument in federal court. It is by invitation.

Oral argument is the most visible part of an appeal, but is typically the least important, especially in state court. Again, there is more about oral argument in the section of this Web site discussing appellate skills.

Decision
The court’s decision is issued in the form of a written opinion, which usually comes within 90 days of oral argument.

Hopefully it doesn't take 90 days to decide:no:

Lawyers for Michael Jackson's mother argue for new trial in case against concert promoter

Article by: ANTHONY MCCARTNEY , Associated Press
Updated: January 22, 2015 - 12:20 PM


LOS ANGELES — A California appellate court has heard arguments on behalf of Michael Jackson's mother for a new trial in her lawsuit against concert giant AEG Live LLC.

Attorneys for Katherine Jackson told a three justice panel of the 2nd District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles that a new trial should be ordered because jurors who decided a nearly six-month trial in AEG's favor last year were given an improper verdict form.

Katherine Jackson sued AEG, the promoters of her son's ill-fated "[lexicon]This is it[/lexicon]" comeback concerts, claiming they were responsible for her son's 2009 death because they hired the doctor who administered a fatal dose of anesthetic.

AEG's lawyers however argue that the Jackson family matriarch's attorneys sought the exact question jurors used to decide the case in AEG's favor.
