- CORRECTING ENTRY
Tue 07/30 10:01 AM
CORRECTING ENTRY: The executed waivers filed at D.I. 7 and D.I. 8 on 7/29/2024, have been removed from the docket as incorrect service dates were used to calculate the answer due date. Counsel indicated the 60-day clock started on 7/22/2024, but upon review of the waiver the filings indicate the clock starts on 7/18/2024. Counsel is to refile the waivers and use the correct date the waiver was sent 7/18/2024. (nms) |
