Notes

Scanned; the Mar. 17 Third Amended Order (Ex. 040) states the operative terms in full.

Retrieval note

Two-page scan retrieved from the court's site; its existence, date and subject are confirmed by the court's Mar. 17 and Mar. 31 orders (Exs. 040, 067 recite the Mar. 16 order); the scan itself was not fully read, so graded secondary.
