A quick definition of cross-plaintiff:

Term: CROSS-PLAINTIFF

Definition: A cross-plaintiff is someone who makes a claim against another party in a lawsuit. This is different from a cross-defendant, who is the party being accused of wrongdoing. Think of it like a game of tag - the cross-plaintiff is "tagging" the other party with a claim, while the cross-defendant is trying to avoid being "tagged."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A cross-plaintiff is a party in a legal case who asserts a cross-claim against another party. This means that they are making a claim against someone who has already made a claim against them.

Example: In a car accident case, the driver of one car may sue the driver of the other car for damages. If the driver of the other car believes that the first driver was also at fault, they may file a cross-claim against them as a cross-plaintiff.

Explanation: The cross-plaintiff is essentially countersuing the original plaintiff. They are claiming that the original plaintiff was also responsible for the damages and should be held accountable. This is a common tactic in legal cases where both parties believe that the other is at fault.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
