Delaware Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly has set an in-person hearing for August 1 at which IP Edge LLC-tied plaintiff Backertop Licensing LLC and its sole owner Lori LaPray “will be afforded the opportunity to show cause for why Ms. LaPray should not be held in civil contempt for failing to comply with” a pair of orders requiring LaPray to appear before the court (in person) last Thursday. New counsel for Backertop David L. Finger of Finger & Slanina, LLC appeared without LaPray, further representing that Jacob LaPray, the sole owner of IP Edge-linked plaintiff Creekview IP LLC would likewise not show up the next day as Judge Connolly had ordered. The August 1 show-cause hearing will also accommodate any arguments from Creekview IP and Jacob as to why the latter should not face civil contempt as well.
