Right now she wants to seem impartial and encourage the two sides to talk and reach a long term resolution to the problem. Thereby taking up less of the courts time and resolving the issue for at least somewhere around 5 years.

I am not asking her to do anything other then make a decision. She said 2 weeks and that deadline passed the middle of last week. I know free agency is not starting anytime soon, but we can't go to the next step and have the appeal until she gives her initial ruling.
Also she encouraged the sides to talk and to talk in minnesotta and then she assigned a judge without clearing his schedule. 3 days of talks and then on hold for a month in part becasue he needs to catch up on his caseload.
