Chapter 7 doesn't make that much sound, so yeah, waves, and that's it. 

Can't fault their current BOD for fighting the good fight against bad odds.

Since Cadets filed for Chapter 7, will the case still proceed to trial?  I understand a settlement hearing was held sometime in April, did anyone hear if it still took place and what came of it?

The settlement hearing scheduled for 4/18 was cancelled, as was the jury trial set for 6/3.  The case status is currently showing "closed" with a disposition of "dismissed on account of bankruptcy". 

From my limited understanding, this doesn't necessarily mean the case is over.  The plaintiff can file an application with the bankruptcy court seeking permission for the civil case to continue.  If bankruptcy court gives permission, the current disposition can be vacated and the civil case can continue as soon as court proceedings can be scheduled.

How does this affect DCI and John Does 1 - 10 who were also named as plaintiffs in this lawsuit?

Same as Cadets, it means the case is closed/dismissed for the time being.  It's also important to note that the case was dismissed without prejudice, which means it could be refiled at a later time against the other defendants.

One other thing to note is that the John Does 1-10 were placeholders for people that may have been identified during discovery as being liable or having some responsibility in the case.  It's a pretty common tactic in civil suits where names may have been forgotten or exact organizational structure wasn't known to the plaintiff.
