A county court judge scheduled a follow‑up status conference in roughly 60 days in InterBank USA v. Sohel Zaman after attorneys reported the defendant's bankruptcy remains open and unresolved.

Why it matters: The bankruptcy proceeding affects the county court's ability to proceed on claims against the defendant; the follow‑up date is intended to let bankruptcy activity — confirmation or dismissal — clarify whether the state action can move forward.

At the hearing, attorney Crystal Williams, representing third‑party defendant Elias Hadad, told the court "this bankruptcy is still ongoing" and said her client had recently switched bankruptcy counsel, which she expected would slow the process. Another attorney told the court he had checked the bankruptcy docket and that "the plan's been filed, but there's no confirmation."

The judge said the matter "can't linger there forever" and set a status conference in approximately 60 days. "My coordinator will email y'all probably within the next couple days once we get a date, and it'll be roughly 60 days out," the judge said.

The court paused further proceedings on the InterBank matter to hear other cases and instructed counsel to watch for the coordinator's email. When the parties returned later in the hearing the judge again confirmed the 60‑day follow‑up and told them to expect notice from the coordinator.

Ending: Counsel were told to check their email for the hearing notice, and the court will revisit the state case after the scheduled interval to determine whether bankruptcy activity has resolved blocking issues.
