December 9, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 18 NOTICE.

Although the court acknowledges that these jurisdictional questions may require disposition prior to any issuance of a prejudgment remedy (if appropriate), the court also respects the time and effort the parties have already put into preparing for the prejudgment remedy hearing scheduled for December 13, 2022, and so that hearing will proceed as scheduled.
