In a recent judgment, the court denied Ripple’s motion to disregard a report stating that the crypto firm was technically able to manipulate XRP’s price.
Ripple sought to strike the report from Dr. Albert Metz, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) expert. Metz and a few other parties had reached the conclusion that Ripple was capable of manipulating XRP prices, which the SEC has alleged.
Tuesday’s ruling can be termed as a minor win for the SEC in the case. The court also granted the SEC more time to object to the release of certain internal documents related to a speech by former director William Hinman.
Court re-opens discovery phase, Ripple can respond to Metz
The ruling was noted by crypto lawyer James K. Filan.
Tuesday’s ruling, from Judge Sarah Netburn, has reopened doors for expert discovery until May 13 to re-depose Dr. Metz. The court’s resolution allows the defendants to file any supplemental report in a response to Metz’s report. However, the judge has also directed the SEC to pay for the reasonable expenses incurred by the defendants for filing the motion.

NewsThe order mentions that both parties should meet and reach an agreement on the rational fee. Meanwhile, May 13 will be the last date to file any motion over attorneys’ fees.
Judge Netburn criticised the SEC’s move to file the expert’s supplemental expert report on the last day of the discovery phase. The report was submitted after several months of rebuttal expert reports being served. The SEC has explained that the additional report was specially prepared to reply to Ripple’s rebuttal experts’ reports.
Metz’s report unauthorized still not rejected
On the other hand, Ripple has asserted that Metz’s report does not correct any opening or rebuttal report. The SEC also claims that the report provides new factual data that the defendants claimed to be missing from the initial report.
The court order highlights that the commission has submitted an “unauthorized supplemental report” and that too on the last day of the discovery. However, the court has still declined to strike the Metz report.
