Counsel for All Sides Confer on Next Steps

Charles Chalmers, attorney for the objectors, spoke today and communicated by email with Charles Sims, counsel for the defendants. (Michael Boni, counsel for the plaintiffs, was included in their email communications.) They discussed a line of authority that they both believe holds great promise to obtain reversal of the decision that the district court does not have jurisdiction to consider a settlement including unregistered copyrights.

Counsel agreed to jointly request a three-week extension of the 14-day period for requesting reconsideration by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
