"Greetings,
As you know we were expecting word out of Georgia today and we got it. Late this afternoon Judge Malihi issued his ruling against all four Plaintiffs.
We caught up with Swensson/Powell's counsel, Mark Hatfield, late this afternoon to get his initial take on the ruling.

When asked about next steps Hatfield stated "we are going full bore and taking it up on appeal”.
