I went to court in November & got the letter in "stone" in december but
there was
a stumbling block. My judge's decision was diverted to a review board & they
have
90 daze to decide. If not then the judge's decision remains final. So far,
my mailbox
has been void of any such messages & the clock is still running & it will
expire on
March 18. Only a week & a half to go & then it's "GAME OVER !"
