Court orders a Civil Case Management Plan in the Cadence Comic Art Lawsuit

In August, 17 comic artists filed a lawsuit against Paolo Belfiore and Cadence Comic Art. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of “egregious misconduct” and defrauding the plaintiffs out of money. Cadence Comic Art is/was a popular site to purchase original comic art.

Last week, the case against Belfiore and Cadence Comic Art was laid out by lawyers and this week the court has come back asking for a Civil Case Management Plan.

A Civil Case Management Plan is a roadmap that outlines the procedures, deadlines, and milestones for a lawsuit. It’s goal is to try to make the civil case efficient and run smooth.

The Civil Case Management Plan is due November 14, 2025.
