The current deadline for filing motions to exclude evidence, witness lists, exhibit lists, trial briefs and other assorted documents is 3-7-2011.
Quite an information bonanza will be made public when these documents are filed and available for public viewing.
Is it next Monday yet

Whenever I hear about this case, my mood shifts from anger that we are wasting so many precious tax dollars on a case that revolves around a digit on a gold coin, and my curiousity in seeing what is being dug up about mint operations during the 1930's.

I do not think a postponement will occur. Once a trial date is set by the court and a schedule established for the filing of pretrial documents, the courts are usually reluctant to continue/postpone the trial date and filing deadlines. Since this case is over 4 years old, I suspect that court will want to get it over with.
If any postponement does take place, I bet it is not more than one or two weeks.
I'll wager you a cup of coffee or a cold one that there is no postponement
It is my understanding that the documents to be filed will reveal the names of additional experts retained by both sides and the topics the new experts will provide expert opinion on. It is my understanding that depositions of some or all new experts have already been taken. It is also my understanding that the Langbords will be filing multiple pretrial motions.
Should be interesting to read the new filings.

What a waste of taxpayer dollars! With all the important things they should be doing the government is worrying about mice nuts instead of doing it's job. For us coin collectors at least we like the coin related history that it might bring out but the public that pays for this get's nothing from it.

The Government believes the law was broken, and therefore must pursue it. It would be a very bad thing for a Government to turn a blind eye to what they feel is a law violation. That is the start of corruption. Who would decide what laws to enforce and what ones not to enforce? It is frustrating, but it is a necessary thing we must endure to have a fair and lawful society.
I will be looking for the update tomorrow. Thanks for the updates!
Tomorrow morning I start jury selection in a case I am handling. I am going to be tied up with a trial this week and will probably not have time to do more than just glance at the new filings.
Of course, I invite any of you with interest and time on your hands to check out the new filings yourself; and if you want to post a thread about them.

Your point about the tax dollars really is something that is a must to correct in our legal system.
Millions upon millions of dollars are being wasted to determine whether a couple of gold coins actually belong to the government or an individual family. That money instead could be used to pay teachers, do needed repairs in construction or help pay other important costs.
Instead we have this fight.
If the langbords win, they sell the coins and make a couple of million, pay their taxes and the government makes something.
if the government wins, they classify the coins as should never have existed and they get melted down and the Fed makes their $1430X10 on gold.
Taxes on $1,000,000 even at 2% is more than the weight in gold.
SO the fed is fighting for $14,300 and wasting millions trying to do it, instead of not getting involved and collecting hundreds of thousands in taxes.

Do you have a link we can go to to look at the (not yet translated into English by a fine gentleman such as yourself) postings???

That hasn't been proven.

Remember the government isn't some big faceless mass. These are actual people inside the Justice Deparment, who, for a couple generations now, have been taking this case way seriously. To me one of those most interesting questions here is getting at & figureing out the personal motivation of this very small group of people. A guy like Izzy Switt, that is easy to figure out. Very transparent. The feds, not so much. Tom says its an illogical vendetta. I agree it sure looks that way from the outside. You get inside, you will find very intelligent people who are very good at rationalizing their behavior. It would be a helluva story if you could get it.
