The court on May 16 granted BT Capital a deadline extension to May 24 to file a motion asking the court to reconsider its ownership decision. BT Capital "will be substituting in new counsel," court papers said. One of Peltier's current attorneys, Bob Lord, declined to comment. Joseph Cotterman, an attorney for Point Center, doubts the justices will reconsider.
