Lawsuit Information

Update Feb. 14, 2008:

As you know, we had a hearing today that could decide the entire case at the trial court level.  It is pretty obvious from all concerned that the case will be appealed to the 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals and ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court.  Neither our side, nor the UC, will let the case end until all appeals are exhausted.  Please pray for the district/trial judge as he writes his ruling because his ruling will be very influential as it is appealed in the future. 

Today’s hearing went well.  The judge was very receptive and prepared.  The court considered numerous constitutional arguments from both sides.  He kept his thoughts close to the vest.  However, I know he clearly understands our legal arguments and seemed to be persuaded by them earlier in the litigation.  We should have a ruling within the next 90 days.  If the entire case is not decided by this ruling, a trial will be scheduled.

Thanks for the prayers today and into the future.
