Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn has issued a scheduling order in the ongoing legal battle between <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-sec-case-update-ripple-accuses-sec-of-violation-lawyers-unveils-end-date/">Ripple Labs</a> and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The order pertains to Ripple’s request to dismiss the SEC’s recent expert submissions, which aim to strengthen the SEC’s case for remedies and a final judgment. Judge Netburn approved an extension for the SEC until April 29, 2024. They must submit their rebuttal to Ripple’s motion. Following this, Ripple will have three business days to respond. 
The scheduling update follows Netburn’s recent nomination as District Judge in the Southern District of New York. She continues to preside over the Ripple vs. SEC case, demonstrating a history of fair rulings perceived as favorable by the crypto community.

<h2 id="strong-xrp-s-stance-on-sec-s-claims-and-penalties-strong">XRP’s Stance on SEC’s Claims and Penalties</h2> 
<a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-files-opposition-agrees-pay-10m-penalty-us-sec-xrp-news/">XRP</a> has contested the SEC’s proposed civil penalties in the ongoing litigation. The blockchain payments firm has opposed the SEC’s call for a large civil penalty, suggesting a penalty not exceeding $10 million instead. Ripple argues that the SEC’s claims are overstated and unsupported by sufficient evidence. 
Additionally, Ripple has addressed the lack of evidence for future violations or reckless behavior in its institutional XRP sales. They referenced the Govil case in their defense, arguing against the SEC’s demand for disgorgement. XRP claims that the SEC cannot establish financial harm and insists on deducting legitimate business expenses. 
<h2 id="strong-ripple-argument-on-odl-and-investment-contracts-strong">Ripple Argument on ODL and Investment Contracts</h2> 
Bill Morgan, representing Ripple, has consistently argued that <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-news-ripple-partner-tranglo-xrp-use-in-odl-ignites-controversy/">Ripple On-Demand Liquidity</a> (ODL) sales are not investment contracts. Over the past three years, he has emphasized that ODL sales function differently from traditional investments. According to <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-vs-sec-pro-xrp-lawyer-explains-why-odl-sales-are-not-investment-contracts/">Morgan</a>, customers hold XRP for mere seconds to facilitate cross-border payments, not for investment purposes. 
Morgan also highlighted that the ODL is not intended to be an investment vehicle. This argument is central to Ripple’s defense against the SEC’s classification of XRP. Ripple maintains that the SEC has not shown a likelihood of future violations or reckless disregard for its XRP sales. They also cite the Govil case to argue against the SEC’s claim for disgorgement, asserting no proof of financial harm exists.
