The merits briefing is complete in Duran v. U.S. Bank National Association, no. S200923 (review granted May 16, 2012).  Numerous amicus briefs have been filed, and the due date for the parties' answers to those briefs has not yet passed.

After the answers to the amicus briefs are filed, the next step is oral argument.  It's hard to predict when the case may be set for argument.  If past history is any guide, it could be as long as a couple of years. (Disclosure:  I am representing CELA as amicus curiae in this case.)

UPDATE:  The parties' answers to the amici briefs were filed on August 6, and 7, 2013.  Links to the briefs have been added to the list above.
