Plaintiffs Oppose Discovery Delay in E-book Price Fixing Case Amazon - Publishers Weekly

Panzer's day began with a trip to the Publishers Weekly site. There our traveling kitty pilot found a post about one of the lawsuits against Amazon mentioned in the day before yesterday's post.
 
According to Andrew Albanese's post, the plaintiffs in the case against Amazon and the Big 5 publishers have asked the judge not to grant the company's request to delay the discovery phase. Amazon has filed to dismiss the case against the company and wants the discovery phase stopped until the dismissal is decided. The judge has not decided how to rule on the discovery question yet. The plaintiff's case accuses Amazon and the Big 5 publishers of price-fixing. This is based on the most favored nations clauses in the contracts between Amazon and the publishers. The post includes several links to other information about the case.
It is a waste of my nap time.
 
Panzer says, "Hmm ... A delay makes sense to this little kitty. If the company does the discovery now and the case gets dismissed, that's a lot of wasted time and money."
