U.S. District Judge Brett Ludwig announces that the proceedings are a final hearing on the merits.

Wisconsin @GovEvers' Davida Brook from Susman Godfrey LLP notes that the court's chief Judge Pepper noted that the case should not reach the evidence-gathering phase because there's no jurisdiction, which she found in dismissing the Kraken last night.
