After four months the court still has not issued a ruling in the Langbord case.

The last brief filed in connection with the pending motions was filed on 12-16-2009. As of today, still no ruling.

Care to offer a prediction of when the court will issue a ruling?

I am now beginning to think that this case will not wrap up at the trial court level in 2010 and instead will drag into 2011.

    Would the court delay a ruling if it had info that a settlement might be in the works?

    Not being a member of the legal profession, I cannot understand why it takes so long to issue a ruling. I realize each point must be researched and evaluated, but four months is ludicrous. We will be lucky to see a decision by mid 2012. Cheers, RickO

    Thanks for the update SanctionII. Since I do not read these boards every day I had recently begun to think that I had missed the discussion on the ruling for the pending motions.

    Apparently I had not.


    I wonder if the rulings will come before summer?

    A guess? yes.


    Another guess? there's no way the gov't will settle for anything less than full ownership.

    I have it from a reliable source that the Court is waiting for Hon. Longacre's private counsel on this matter.

    It is said the Hon. Longacre is more than an “amicus curiae” but is known as migliore amico (“best buddy”) and prode amico (“stalwart friend”) of the Philadelphia legal intelligentsia. The bicep tattoos automatically pass him through all security checkpoints.

    Now THAT makes sense!!!

    Maybe they will wait it out so long the President will sign a declaration people can no longer own gold coins and they have to get turned in at face value. (we would all need to turn in our gold at face value. That would help fix the books.)

    SanctionII:

    I understand that in a criminal case, if the jury returns quickly then it's bad news for the defendent. Do you think that this delay is bad news for one side or the other?

    If anyone ran a business the way the judges run their courts, they would be out of business pretty quick.
