Executives of Ripple Labs and the US Securities and Exchange Commission have agreed to prolong the timeline of their lawsuit and postpone court proceedings until the end of 2022, implying that their legal standoff would likely last well into next year.<\/p>\n
Both parties jointly requested the extension in a letter to Judge Sarah Netburn, who has been presiding over the case. Judge Netburn granted approval of the revised schedule.<\/p>\n

Additionally, any resistance must be responded to by December 20.<\/p>\n The revised timeline follows the SEC’s request for an extension to file an objection to Judge Netburn’s decision on the Motion for Reconsideration of the DPP Ruling. This was the regulator’s second request for an extension in the matter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Defense attorney James Filan shared a tweet from Ripple defense lawyer Stuart Alderoty, who said:<\/p>\n #XRPCommunity<\/a> #SECGov<\/a> v. #Ripple<\/a> #XRP<\/a> Parties file joint scheduling letter proposing opening briefs for summary judgment and expert challenges in August and closing briefs a few days before Christmas. pic.twitter.com\/DBVkl3LQXU<\/a><\/p>\n — James K.

\u201cTo all that have been following the case thus far \u2013 thank you. Know that Ripple is working hard (and the Court is pushing hard) to resolve the case as soon as possible, despite the SEC time and again doing everything they can to delay.\u201d<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n
