Judge Sabraw also accepted the filing by the ACLU (and others, all fine lawyers) of the amended final complaint at law. But I won't post it, as it is long -- and it is now a settled matter.
The able Judge's orders are quite clear and largely self-executing. Here is the full six pager, out of today's hearings -- and a salient bit:
. . . .The Court finds that: (a) the proposed Settlement, as set forth in the Agreement, is sufficiently fair, reasonable, and adequate to authorize the dissemination of notice of the Settlement to potential members of the Settlement Classes and to schedule a fairness hearing to determine whether to grant final approval of the proposed Settlement under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(e); (b) the Agreement was negotiated at arm’s length by experienced counsel acting in good faith; and (c) there has been adequate opportunity for discovery for experienced counsel to evaluate the claims and risks at this stage of the litigation. . . .
The Court finds that preliminary approval is appropriate and hereby grants preliminary approval of the Settlement subject to final determination [in mid-November 2018] following notice and hearing. . . .
Onward -- ever onward. Off grid, starting tomorrow night -- until mid next week. Fun times in NYC (and before that, down in the deep South), ahead!

well, before you leave: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-immigration-crackdown-federal-agency-budgets_us_5bbd37c9e4b0876edaa336db
if true: "The expected cost: $750 per night, per bed. For about the same price, the federal government could pay for a deluxe hotel room — with a view of Central Park — at Trump’s Manhattan hotel. For every month that the Trump administration locks up a single undocumented minor in the Texas desert, it pays more than the annual cost of putting a student through state college, complete with room and board."
Enjoy my home state, have a slice of pizza and/or a bagel with a smear. Safe travels
Thanks, anon. -- yes, 45 is simply handing his donors "governmental waste" checks, of dubious legality -- as pure federal graft payoffs.

Okay, on to lighter fare, then: first -- it's crawdaddies (in rural Mississippi), and home grown pecans -- in pecan pie. Then, next week -- bagels, lox and probably later, some mid-town pastrami. [Pizza is strictly Chicago for me.] Anyhoo, it should be a pair of packed party weeks / nights!
Smile. . . .
Namaste
