No next hearing date yet, just a docket update. Looks like there was a hearing on 5/15 - from the audio log notes. Not fining any articles - old ones yes - but nothing updated.
And nothing new on the others for this case.

Just one update in the court site. Do not know "what" is going on with this case. They all had Settlement hearings - and now it's awful quiet....
