MPAA, studios, theaters will file response to lawsuit alleging ratings system is fraudulent on Sept 15, hearing likely Oct 27

The MPAA, studios, NATO, and the plaintiffs in the national class action lawuit alleging that their rating system defrauds parents have agreed that the defndants' response to the plaintiff's June filing will be due on September 15, 2016 and proposed to the judge that the hearing on the Motion to Dismiss and SLAPP Motion will be held on October 27.
 
The judge will have to approve this schedule, but such approvals when both sides agree are usual.
 
You can read about the case and all the legal documents at https://smokefreemovies.ucsf.edu/take-action/class-action. The plaintiff's July 15 response is especially entertaining.
