January 7, 2012:   Nothing new on the PACER system this fine Saturday morning.
I'll take another look Tuesday morning to see if corrected notices of appeal have been filed by plaintiff and plaintiff-intervenor counsel.   The last time this case went to appeal in the federal circuit, Judge Lettow had to define the narrow issue(s) that would be reviewed by appellate court.   I would expect to see something from him in a few days.   I guess he could even say no to any or all of the notices of appeal.   Later . . . .

January 6, 2012:   I have tried to make the three appeals easier to understand, but . . .

January 3, 2012:   While editing and updating the website today, the webpage "Lawsuit 2011" and it's backup copy was lost.   I've been able to retrieve the 2011 court documents back to the August 5, 2011 Opinion and Order from Judge Lettow (Document 1093).   Consequently, I've recreated a "Lawsuit 2011" webpage but it will only contain Documents 1093 - 1112 which anyone can read and/or download.
