Re: judicial actions
Court has 60 days to rule. Depends on the judge. Depends on the issues. If after 60 days nothing has happened, you can file a motion for a ruling but I doubt you will get there.
Re: judicial actions
Usually, a judge takes a matter under advisement if he/she needs an opportunity to review exhibits, research legal points, or otherwise consider the most appropriate way to rule on the issues.
Generally, a judge must issue a ruling within 60 days, but unless a case is particularly complicated, it rarely takes that long.
