Several observers are expecting a resolution or even a mutual agreement that will mark the end of the lawsuit.&nbsp;
According to American attorney James K. Filan, Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn who was recently nominated to serve as the <a href="https://coingape.com/pro-crypto-sarah-netburn-gets-nominated-as-district-judge-good-news-for-ripple/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">District Judge for the South District of New York</a>, issued a scheduling order in the ongoing legal battle.&nbsp;
The <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-vs-sec-new-scheduling-order-issued-by-judge-netburn/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">scheduling order</a> in question was in place of Ripple’s request to dismiss the SEC’s recent expert submissions.&nbsp;
It is worth acknowledging that the submission could strengthen the SEC’s case for remedies and a final judgment.&nbsp;
Consequently, the judge approved an extension till April 29, 2024 for the SEC to give a rebuttal to Ripple’s motion, and three business days for the crypto payment platform to reply.

Judge Netburn has allegedly displayed a favorable stance towards Ripple in the course of the case, giving the crypto firm and its supporters hope that the lawsuit would go in <a href="https://coingape.com/pro-xrp-lawyer-spotlights-new-ray-of-hope-in-ripple-vs-sec-case/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">favor of the firm</a>.&nbsp;
At the moment, there are varying opinions as to what direction the lawsuit could end; some in favor of the securities regulator and others in support of Ripple.
Attorney Jeremy Hogan strongly believes that the Ripple XRP lawsuit will see an end this summer but not without a $100 million settlement from Ripple. The attorney’s proposed settlement is a far-cry from the <a href="https://coingape.com/sec-ask-judge-torres-for-final-judgment-in-ripple-xrp-lawsuit/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$2 billion penalty that the SEC</a> previously requested for. Precisely, the regulator asked Ripple to pay $876,308,712 in disgorgement and $198,150,940 in prejudgment interest.
When the SEC made this outrageous demand, <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-vs-sec-jeremy-hogan-critiques-secs-2-billion-claim/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hogan was one of those who criticized</a> the actions of the Commission. He noted that the demand of the regulator is inconsistent with its mission to safeguard the investors.&nbsp;
Ripple’s CLO Stuart Alderoty, also stated that the penalty should be no more <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-files-opposition-agrees-pay-10m-penalty-us-sec-xrp-news/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">than $10 million</a>, which the company agreed to pay for violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 for offering XRP under institutional investment contracts.
