None of the cases have yet had Answers filed by the defendants.  In Andersen et al v. Verizon
Communications, Inc. ( 1:07-cv-11070-LTS ), the most recent filing is the Complaint, on Dec 6.
In Andresen et al v. High-Antennas, L.L.C. ( 1:07-cv-10456-LBS ), the defendants were served
on Dec 2, and their answer is due by Dec 24.  In Andersen et al v. Xterasys Corporation (
1:07-cv-10455-PKC ), the defendants were served on Nov 21, and their answer was due by today;
however, yesterday they got an extension; their new due date for answering the complaint is
Jan 11, 2008.

So, no news of interest yet, but, assuming there is no settlement, we should be seeing
something of interest by early January at the latest.

Current status of the cases - update

There have been one new filing.

In Andersen et al v. Verizon Communications, Inc. ( 1:07-cv-11070-LTS ), a Initial Conference
Order was filed on Dec 14.  It states that there will be a conference, to lay out what the
parties agree on, on March 7, 2008 (at 2:30 PM).  Also, both parties have to file what they
plan to talk about at the conference beforehand (by March 1, 2008).  The order goes into
considerable detail on what needs to be discussed.  Interestingly, there is no certificate of
service of the complaint, yet.  Verizon may still be stonewalling.

There is nothing new in Andresen et al v. High-Antennas, L.L.C. ( 1:07-cv-10456-LBS ), next
deadline is still Dec 24.  

And there is nothing new in Andersen et al v. Xterasys Corporation (1:07-cv-10455-PKC ), next
deadline is still Jan 11.

As of now, only the Verizon case hasn't been settled, and no new cases have been filed. I posted a full update in this LWN comment, under a more recent LWN article on the SFLC's campaign.
