In a document attached to the tweet, Filan noted three big outstanding issues: the summary judgment motions, expert challenges and, lastly, sealing issues regarding the expert reports, the Hinman documents and other materials relied on by the SEC and Ripple in their motions.
Filan also believes the same might apply to the expert motions. Filan explains that if Judge Torres does not rely on an expert in her summary judgment decision, then there may not be a further need for her to address the motion to strike that expert's testimony.Filan cited an example of a similar scenario — a Goldman Sachs case that had sealing disputes, expert challenges and motions for summary judgment — which District Judge Torres decided.
