Things are moving forward, but a quick solution will not happen due to court procedure:
The court has set an end-date for discovery (when both sides can ask for facts/evidence from the other side) for March 2004. In addition, the court has cut off Expert Discovery (getting to talk to experts, who's time is more limited) for June 2004. The court has also set an end-date for motions (these are requests for court orders like a dismissal or a judgment without need for trial) after the discovery results can be analyzed in July 2004.
If the case survives with enough doubt (that NGF might have a case) to go to trial, the trial itself would start in 8/24/04.
So happy waiting!
Some things are worth the wait
