Fresh Horses

Open Source Yoga Unity's suit for declaratory judgment against Bikram Choudhury has been moving along full speed ahead with discovery on the issue of subject matter jurisdiction.  But Bikram's lawyers, Akin Gump, postponed their deposition of OSYU three times in a row, most recently the day before it was to take place, on the grounds that they were very busy.  
Yesterday we suddenly received Bikram's notice that he is substituting in new counsel.  Goodbye Akin Gump, Hello O'Laverty & Ungar.  
The new lawyers have a lot to do in a hurry:  we have Early Neutral Evaluation to complete by mid-February, a pending discovery dispute, and any motions for summary judgment on jurisdictional issues must be brought no later than February 25, 2004.  
For those in the Palo Alto environs who are interested, I am speaking about the OSYU case on February 9, 2004 at 12:30 in the moot court room at Stanford Law School.
