What happened
In Haydel v. Exponential Wealth Inc., the matter was referred for an inquest and a report and recommendation concerning Scott Haydel’s damages.
The order requires Haydel to submit proposed factual findings, legal conclusions, and supporting evidence by August 1, 2022. The defendants may respond by August 22, 2022, but must contact chambers by August 15, 2022, to request an in-court hearing if they want one.
