[Nfbmo] [NfbmBlind Penssion

[Eugene Coulter]

As I understand where things are there are some very detailed talks going on 
between the judge, the state and the plaintiffs to come up with a final 
settlement that all sides agree with. It could be as much as a year before 
the judge finalizes the order. Regardless of what is said no one can 
guarantee exactly what that will be as there are a lot of variables. The 
only thing that is for sure is that the court ruled in favor of the 
plaintiffs but until these talks are done  we won't know what the financial 
result will be. This is not to diminish the plaintiff's case in any way but 
only to say that the issue is very complexand there are lawyers, judges and 
accountants involved.
There are some further talks scheduled in a couple of weeks I believe and we 
may know more then.
