I recently appeared before a federal judge who is renowned for making rash decisions.  In a clear case of abuse of discretion, he threw out a $56 million dollar lawsuit.  The lawsuit alleged that a public company filed a false claim to United States Customs in order to undervalue imported goods so as to avoid custom duties.

We immediately filed an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal.  I am extremely comfortable that decision will be overturned.  It is almost unheard of for a judge not to allow a party to at least file an amended complaint.

I will keep you posted.
