Law/Patents - Law (general) / transcript of a hearing
Spanish term or phrase: En este estado
This appears at the beginning of a few of the paragraphs in the transcript of the hearing. Does it refer to a physical document, hence 'statement'/'declaration' or does it mean something like 'at the point'?

e.g. En este estado la parte actora se reserva la posibilidad de citar o conducir en su caso al testigo XXX, para el caso de que la parte demandada no pueda cumplir con la carga de la comparecencia asumida.
