Key Facts

  • Denial was without prejudice — parties may refile with a showing of diligence.

Financial Impact

No financial exposure stated or implied by this ruling.

Risk Factors

  • The underlying case may eventually produce material rulings, but this order changes nothing about the odds or stakes.
