Judge Walrath isn't stalling; the parties are. She can't rule on WMI's summary judgment motion until the issue is ripe for decision, which means when all the briefs and responses are filed. That hasn't happened yet, because the parties agreed to extend the briefing schedule, and in the mean time WMI's only witness (Ms. Logan, whose Declaration was submitted in support of the Motion), is now scheduled to be deposed later this month. Plus, this is a Motion for Summary Judgment, which is unusual in itself and unlikely to be granted anyhow. (See my previous post on July 26th "Reality Check on $4B Summary Judgment Motion" and the discussion thread that followed.) There is more happening here amongst the lawyers than meets the eye. -----------
