We still need to send this letter to and at the MDC to review for accuracy. Do you think you will be able to review shortly or should I send them this draft simultaneously? We highlighted some language for your consideration about Judge Nathan's deadlines, happy to discuss. We haven't engaged with the defense's footnote 1 about the volume of the materials delivered because that is a little more complicated and we want to make sure any representations are fully accurate, but happy to discuss.
