From: Kevin Smith <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:33:49 +0000 Hi David, You can see the complaint here: http://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nysdce/1:2011cv09499/389754/1/ On a quick glance (at only the plaintiff's side) it looks like a straightforward contract interpretation issue that ought to settle with some cash charging hands. But I respect your nose for important issues, so please tell me if I am wrong. Kevin Kevin L. Smith, J.D.
