    The city filed their reply brief. I haven't had time to read it. It will be three weeks before anything is due by Gura.

    I updated our website with the files. Be warned, it's 140 pages of hair pulling to get through them.

    Reading the reply brief now - I'm excited about what this could mean for the fight against arbitrary "suitability" criteria.
