The Tellico case is moving forward. SFWDA and it's attorneys are expecting a hearing date to be assigned by the Court any day. The Hearing date appears to be imminent. We anticipate that the Hearing will be held in a Courthouse somewhere in Western North Carolina.
These cases are unique and complicated. Generally, they are administrative in nature. Therefore, we anticipate this Hearing will consist of Lawyer presented arguments to a Judge. This is not a trial. However, we believe it is a positive sign that the Court wants to hear from the Party's in the case and not simply rely on the briefs.
Stay tuned as we now begin to see the fruits of all the effort that has been put forth. As soon as the venue and the date certain for the Hearing is available and known I will post the information.
SFWDA and I appreciate your patience and support to date. As we move forward it will be extremely important that we support this action through the process.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Until i have more to report......Flint
