He has until Dec. 1st to respond to the suit. Nothing there that says he has to produce the birth certificate then.

Obama has to respond to the Petition for Writ of Certiorari by 1201/2008.
Presumably, he will ask SCOTUS to deny the petition, based on lack of standing - that is what he did in Circuit Court and Court of Appeals.
Then, Berg gets to respond to Obama’s response.
If SCOTUS denies Cert, then it is over. But, Obama would have to get ready for round 2 (Donofrio) and round 3 (Keyes). With 14 more in the pipeline ...
If SCOTUS grants Cert to Berg (or anyone in any subsequent case), then they can do one of two things:
1. They can remand back to the lower court for resolution. In which case, it would wind its way back to SCOTUS, since a decision (either way) would certainly be appealed all the way back to them.
2. They can assert original jurisdiction, bypassing the lower courts - since the case is coming back to them anyway. Also, the case is of national urgency.
Anyway, once the case is back at SCOTUS, the case would be argued and, presumably SCOTUS would order production of ALL related evidence (like BC, etc.).
The evidence would LIKELY undergo forensic analysis, results would be presented, legal precedence would be researched, chambers discusiion would likely occur, and a decision would be rendered.
If for Berg (or any other litigant, if Berg had already been denied) - Obama would be out.
If for Obama - Berg’s (or any other litigant’s) case is over. Then, presumably, ALL pending cases in ALL courts would be dismissed, including Donofrio and Keyes. Obama’s citizenship would have been established.
