The federal judge overseeing the bankruptcy of the city of San Bernardino, California, moved yesterday to end disputes over the disclosure of financial information and begin resolving the initial issues in the case by late summer, Reuters reported yesterday. Bankruptcy Judge Meredith Jury set two key hearing dates—July 17 and August 28—which she hopes will force the parties to narrow disputes. She also invited the city to apply for a quick judgment on the disputed issues in the Aug. 28 hearing, and could potentially rule at that time on whether San Bernardino is eligible for chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.
