Progress on the jurisdiction hearing

Judge Racek, the judge in the defamation case, has granted our requests in the jurisdiction hearing scheduled for the 28th.

Judge Racek has granted our request that the hearing be an evidentiary hearing. This places the burden of proof on Reynolds to prove that North Dakota should have jursidiction. Reynolds had objected and wanted simply a motion hearing with affidavits and no oral testimony.

All direct testimony to be submitted in advance by affidavit -- no surprises allowed.

Witnesses may appear via interactive tv. Reynolds was hoping to force my witnesses and me to travel all the way to ND or not testify at all.
