It was already established in the administrative complaint:

The Administrative Law Judge shall hold a prehearing scheduling conference not later than ten (10) days after the Respondents file their answers. Unless otherwise directed by the Administrative Law Judge, the scheduling conference and further proceedings will take place at the Federal Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Room 532, Washington, D.C. 20580.

The prehearing is virtual (I think they use Zoom) and public. So, you can listen to it on Tuesday, January 3, 2023 at 3:00PM - 3:30PM.

These are some of questions that will be addressed by the parties:

- Their factual and legal theories;
- The current status of any pending motions;
- A schedule of proceedings that is consistent with the date of the evidentiary hearing set by the Commission;
- Steps taken to preserve evidence relevant to the issues raised by the claims and defenses;
- The scope of anticipated discovery, any limitations on discovery, and a proposed discovery plan, including the disclosure of electronically stored information;
- Issues that can be narrowed by agreement or by motion, suggestions to expedite the presentation of evidence at trial, and any request to bifurcate issues, claims or defenses;
- Other possible agreements or steps that may aid in the just and expeditious disposition of the proceeding and to avoid unnecessary cost.

There will be more prehearing conferences before August 2023.
