A Pelican Update Makes the Case More Impenetrable

By Pamela Jones et al.

Strange. After six months of no activity, here's an entry in the Pelican v. Darl and the Gang suit:

05/20/2010 - Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald: Oral Argument held on 5/20/2010. (mro) (Entered: 05/24/2010)

Oral argument about what? No indication...Perhaps the motions to dismiss, at last? That was my first thought, but it turns out PACER lists it, if you dig a bit, as a status conference, not a hearing. So I'm a bit puzzled. If it was indeed a status conference, presumably the judge wants to get the case going again, if it's going forward. If so, there should be a schedule or some indication of life on the docket fairly soon or a notice that it's been settled or dropped, or whatever the parties are doing that we don't know about yet. And if it was oral argument, then it was a hearing, and there should be an order eventually.
