I was at the meeting when it was decided to file early, it was done because the date of when the 6 month dfr clock started could not be 100% determined. Turns out we were right , usapa tried to argue we were past the date and too early at the same time. Guess what? We will never be to late and the 9th was wrong, if they weren't we wouldn't be back in federal court arguing the same case they punted.
