Survivor Lawsuits, DOJ Dismissal Motion, and Limits on Discovery

A judge blocked Todd Blanche’s deposition but allowed up to ten written questions; November 11 is the next discovery-coordination marker. Separately, DOJ has moved to dismiss a 34-survivor lawsuit, presenting sovereign-immunity and other defenses; the motion is not a ruling and its transcript should be verified against the filing. A magistrate judge recommended limited discovery in Maria Farmer’s suit, not a final ruling.
