No more Woolsey Fire status conferences until July
Status conferences in the Woolsey Fire mass tort action in Los Angeles County Superior Court have been vacated until July 7 amid the coronavirus public health emergency. Plaintiffs are nowhere near a trial date, nor have they received the causation report from the state yet.
The next hearing in the consolidated Woolsey Fire has been scheduled for July 7.
Los Angeles County Judge William F. Highberger on Monday vacated semi-monthly status conferences for three months.
The judge's decision was based on the current conditions of limited court operations and physical distancing orders issued by the federal government due to the public health emergency.
