From The Laboratorium:
The author and publisher plaintiffs filed a motion to adjourn the fairness hearing, together with a short supporting memorandum. Google does not oppose the motion. The executive summary:
- The parties are renegotiating the settlement (with each other and the DOJ).
- The issues are too complex to present a revised settlement by October 7.
- They’ve requested a status conference for November 6 to discuss a future schedule, so they may have a revised settlement by then.
- The parties don’t yet know whether the changes will require a renotice.
