What happened

Averbach v. Cairo Amman Bank is a case in which the court held a case-management conference on August 15, 2024. The order extended the plaintiffs’ deadline to file a third amended complaint to August 27, 2024.

The parties must file a letter by September 6, 2024, proposing a revised schedule for expert discovery about liability and a schedule for briefing the possible effect of a 2023 Supreme Court decision involving Twitter on this case. The letter must say whether the parties plan to address that issue through a motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment.

Magistrate Judge Parker entered this case-management order. The order does not decide the merits of the dispute or rule on a motion to dismiss or for summary judgment.
