Federal Court Fast on the Heels of Laurita Family

jacqueline dec 21While pretending that everything is just fine this Christmas, the Federal Court sent the Laurita family an interesting greeting just in time for Christmas.

The Scheduling Order was entered on the docket of the Federal Bankruptcy / Adversary Proceeding case on December 21, 2012.

The new scheduling order amended deadline dates to tie into the Court’s decision on the following motions:

  • Signature filed a motion for leave to file an Amended Complaint;
  • Studio Holdings filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Third Party Complaint of ROC Fashions;
  • ROC Fashions filed a motion for leave to file a Second Amended Third Party Complaint;
  • Studio Holdings intends to file a motion to disqualify attorneys for Signature Apparel;
  • Signature Apparel has advised that it may file a motion to disqualify attorneys for Studio Holdings.

All motions and contemplated motions shall be argued on March 14, 2013. Until motions are decided all depositions are suspended, however, documentary discovery shall proceed pursuant to the following schedule:

  • Fact discovery will be completed within 60 days of Court’s final dispositions on Motions;
  • Expert disclosures will be completed within 67 days of Court’s final disposition on Motions;
  • Affirmative expert reports shall be completed within 105 days of Court’s final disposition on Motions;
  • Reply expert reports shall be completed within 135 days of Court’s final disposition of Motions;
  • Expert depositions shall be completed within 165 days of Court’s final disposition of Motions;
  • Summary Judgment motions shall be filed within 45 days of completion of expert discovery;
  • Signature’s Motion for leave to file an Amended Complaint shall be heard on March 14, 2013;
  • Lauritas’ Answer to the Amended Complaint shall be filed 21 days after the Court grants leave to file the Amended Complaint.

It appears that the dates may run during filming for Season 5. It will be interesting to see if the Lauritas’ court dates or appointments with attorneys are caught on tape. If the Housewife franchise is supposed to reflect the reality of their lives, surely the Lauritas’ court fiasco must play a part of the show.

    Thanks Faux for the information :-)

    Thank you for the update!

    They can’t get out of this one. I hope they are filming while this is going on.

    The Laurita’s don’t know how bad of a shape they are truly in. How in gods name can they get a business going when they have fraud and outright theft being investigated in court. What investor would want to do business with them.

  5. avatar Honnie Badger says:

    Yay! Faux is BACK, baby! :)

    Hmmmm … I suppose taping will be finished by this time. Too bad the cameras and producers can’t tape all this hooplah. How WILL Bravo handle it?

  6. avatar Dubbalicious says:

    Honnie, Bravo will naturally bury their heads in the sand..how will they have time to deal with true reality when they need to make up negative stories about Teresa, while making up bigger (positive) stories about the rest. I’m at my absolute breaking point with this crap! I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired of the BS they continue to feed us! More important..why am still hanging on to the hope it’ll be different?
    Glad you’re back Faux..it’s like having Christmas all over again. :)

      Sweet Dubbalicious! I always love reading your comments. You know, it’s really so difficult to know what the truth is as far as upcoming storylines because there is so much … “insider” chatter all over the place, conflicting stories, etc.

      Bravo is strictly a TV business, and as such, they could either continue the TG bashfest or let it go entirely. I don’t quite believe that Bravo will continue, as it is akin to beating a dead horse. Also, it is absolutely not believable that, due to the nasty way the friendships ended, these women would be together at parties, houses, etc. At this point, why on earth would TG show up at a Laurita/Manzo dinner party, lunch, social event? How can the everyone-against-TG bashfest be sustained? It cannot.

      I will say I think that Bravo will indeed ditch the everyone-against-TG bashfest for the most part (not entirely). Sounds like they signed some allies for her.

      • avatar Dubbalicious says:

        Honnie, thanks!!
        Let’s hope with the addition of Penny, the playing field will be evened out..let’s hope Bravo’s listening. Time to take down the posers. Just thinking about it makes me giddy..lol
        Aud..love your thinking!! :)
        HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

    Welcome back. Glad to see you’ve got things up and running again. I’ve missed you.

    Happy New Year with an update . . . YAAAY!

    I hope Teresa . . . and any “friends” she has lined up mention these proceedings as often as possible while filming (shades of the “White Party” and “Back Deck” scenes.) Then when Mom O’The Year Jacquelyn slurs that she doesn’t want to talk about it “on camera,” perhaps she will be skewered and roasted the way Teresa was?

    Teresa:
    “Hi Jax, love your dress and no way do I believe that you and Chris ripped off a cancer charity like Susan G. Komen!”

    “Hi Caroline, Love love love the longer hairstyle and I’m writing jokey commentaries in my latest cookbook and want to make sure whether your brother would prefer “going away” versus “going to jail?”

    If said enough, surely not all will end up on the cutting room floor?

  9. avatar CleverID says:

    Too funny aud! Glad you are back FRE!

  10. avatar lobstahsmaht says:

    So glad you are back. I was just going to delete you from my “favorites” and then realized you had posted an update. Hope you were well while gone.

  11. avatar Hillelvie says:

    Reading your blog! Love it! Your timeline is just as interesting Greg’s! I see you’ve unraveled the story behind 02 it’s very telling! Especially the picture and the other accounts. You’ve found some missing pieces to a big puzzle. Cheers to you in the New Years! Keep up the good work!

  12. avatar Hilldelil says:

    Do you know much about Sasha’s friend queen-Gracie, aka: Alexisisback on Bcg, – the so-called boutique consultant from Ct. ;) Her friend “patrese”? Saw the pic of 02 on your tl! Tells a big story! Her other accounts have been creating havoc on twitter for T fans for years now! Same people. All working toward same goal, for the same person. Good work in the new year. First time I’ve been on your blog. I like! Will frequent it often.

    Hate the Manzo’s – Laurita’s clan. That’s all:-)

  14. avatar Canard says:

    Big Greggy is following the Queenz. Yuck!

  15. avatar Honnie Badger says:

    Faux — a little off topic (ok, a lot): do you know who draws these adorable little monster avatars? I know it’s a software based program, but they are just so dang cute! And someone has to have been actually drawing these critters!
