Based on this document dated March 14 2025 https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/54486495/Securities_and_Exchange_Commission_v_AlNaji_et_al

I asked ChatGPT to give some timeline for @nader case... it can go on all the way to 2027 🤣 No FUD, just facts....

1. Early Case Management & Pretrial Phase (March – June 2025)

• March 14, 2025: Court grants an extension for the defendant's response.
• June 6, 2025: Deadline for the defendant to respond to the complaint.
• June 9, 2025: Deadline to submit the joint case management plan.
• June 16, 2025: Pretrial conference (where the judge discusses the case schedule).

2. Discovery Phase (Likely June – December 2025)

• Discovery is the phase where both sides exchange evidence, depose witnesses, and gather facts.
• Can take 6 months to 1 year, depending on how much evidence is involved.
• If expert witnesses are required, it could take even longer.

3. Motions & Pretrial Proceedings (December 2025 – Early 2026)

• Motions to dismiss or summary judgment motions may be filed, potentially resolving the case without trial.
• If the case isn’t dismissed, it moves toward trial.
• Settlement negotiations may intensify at this stage.

4. Trial (Mid-to-Late 2026)

• If the case goes to trial, it could happen anywhere from mid-to-late 2026 or even later.
• Trials can last days or weeks, but scheduling depends on court availability.

5. Appeals (2027 or Later)

• If either party loses and appeals, the case could extend for another 1-2 years in appellate court.
