As an Aside on the Lawsuit (none / 0) (#12)
by The Maven on Tue May 06, 2008 at 11:40:28 AM EST
I'm not sure why this new lawsuit was filed in the Central District of California, considering that two other suits have been proceeding largely in tandem at the D.C. District Court for several years now (Ibrahim v. CACI and Saleh v. CACI, docket nos. 04-1248 and 05-1165, respectively), and CCR, Burke O'Neill and Akeel & Valentine are counsel in one of them.  All the claims against Titan/L-3 Communications were dismissed by Judge James Robertson last November, principally on the government contractor defense.  Both cases now have multiple appeals before the D.C. Circuit Court.

But it seems as though one of the first things the defendants will do here is ask that the case be transferred to D.C. and then that all relevant rulings from Ibrahim and Saleh be applied to the newly filed matter.  At least, that's how it looks to me.
