That is pretty much what I have been expecting as well except that I am not so sure the ACC would want a jury trial as juries are so unpredictable I would think they would rather have a NC judge regardless state of federal. That said, it is possible that they might want to scare the hell out of MD with prospect of a tar heal jury and force them to a favorable settlement.
 
Now that the trial will not change venue it is time for MD to have the case removed to federal court. If they are going to do it they will do it sooner rather than later so as to get the federal rules to apply. I suspect that will be the next move we read about.
 
With respect to discovery, let's not forget that Wallace Loh will get deposed as well and it will not be pretty either. The simplest depo even as a fact witness not involved in the case can be painful. Anyway, my guess is that MD has more to hide than the ACC. I doubt that the discovery process will deter either party in a matter so important.
 
While I doubt that any interlocutory appeals (as someone mentioned) will arise to delay the hearing of this case, however, the case could certainly still drag on. As a practical matter, so long as the specter of of a $50 million exit fee is out there, ACC members will probably cool their jets. Delay good (fire bad!)
