You and the police department are both paper, manual, heavy, crazy, gotta stop.

In the recent Bell Corp decision, the court determined that if the summons was dismissed, the sealing order must be lifted as well.
1:50:10
Has this had any effect on how you serve your papers?

Two things I would say.
1:50:22
First, I'm I'm not the attorneys that represent these cases, so that would probably be good more better, more proper to one of the attorneys.
1:50:29
However, we do I think the city has taken the position that that decision was an error.
1:50:34
And so depending on who you listen to, they say the summons is tied to the ceiling order.
1:50:39
It's the interpretation that the ceiling order is the ceiling order, and the summons is the summons.
1:50:44
And so it's a a separate consideration.
