Bonus – what unique distinction did Judge Taft hold?

I know this is a bit old but I know the answer (and didn't google it). He was and still is the only person to be both POTUS and Chief justice of SCOTUS.

Winner, Winner - Chicken Dinner for you

And to think that SB now has history lessons or at least trivia!

Taft and Teddy, a furball of a fight - Wilson the beneficiary

CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL

CV 19-7693 PA (MRWx) Date September 10, 2020

The Court has received the parties’ joint 26(f) report. The Court is aware that the National Transportation Safety Board (“NTSB”) is currently investigating the fatal fire that occurred aboard the Conception dive boat off Santa Cruz Island, California, which is the subject of this litigation. The parties’ joint report states that “the NTSB anticipates completing its investigation in or about October, 2020, and that its report will be available shortly thereafter—possibly in November, 2020.” (Dkt. 164 at 3.) Accordingly, the Court hereby continues the Scheduling Conference to December 7, 2020 at 10:30 a.m.​

Three months down the road?

No reason to have a scheduling hearing if the action may/will be delayed by a criminal filing?

Any updates on this case since December?
