November 10: next hearing in Trump University FRAUD case. Trial to start on Nov. 28.

Why aren't we hearing anything about that?

"Defendant Donald Trump's defiant response to his clear violation of this court's order confirms that his gamesmanship will continue unless it results in some sort of meaningful consequence," wrote plaintiffs attorney Jason Forge in a motion to strike a declaration that had 1,584 pages of exhibits—about 1,500 pages more than allowed.

In court papers, Trump's lead lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli, called the strike motion "disingenuous." U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel struck the Trump team's declaration on Monday but allowed for it to be refiled.

And in a pretrial motion, plaintiffs lawyers have asked the court to prohibit Trump's team from bombarding them with dozens of previously-undisclosed witnesses and documents.

Curiel is set to hear pretrial motions on Nov. 10—two days after the election. Responses to pretrial motions are due Nov. 1.

The case was filed by former students of Trump University who paid $1,500 to $35,000 each for real estate seminars. Next month's trial will focus on a first phase of liability to establish whether prospective students in California, New York and Florida were misled into believing that Donald Trump himself hand-picked the instructors and that Trump University was an "accredited university." If Trump is found liable, a second phase would determine damages.
