Defendant Daniel Pacheco (right), filed his own motion for summary judgment later that same day.
A hearing on the motions was held on September 9th, resulting the court taking the matter under submission.
A decision on both summary judgment motions remains pending.

On January 19th Judge Fitzgerald rescheduled the March trial date for August 9th, 2022.
Stated reasons for the seventh delay include outstanding summary judgment decisions, COVID-19 witness complications and scheduled attorney parental leave.
