When I spoke with Hollister in mid-January, he indicated to me if it didn't get picked up by Inauguration Day, he felt the case might be too "non-standard" in that venue. It's an interesting twist using the Interpleader IMO, but the USDCDC is a pain in the butt to deal with, uncooperative in many regards. Hopefully they will get this fixed quick...
Would you please explain how the judge could say that Berg can’t practice in his court but then tell him he has until the 26th to show cause?
