That judgment was entered in March of 2016. The owners of the golf course immediately appealed the judgment. The court of appeals denied the appeal on May 10, 2018. The owners of the golf course then petitioned the Supreme Court to hear their appeal. The Supreme Court denied their request on July 25, 2018. The case was sent back to the trial court on the next day. The judgment mandated that the owners of the golf course must take action to improve the condition of the golf course within certain time frames. The clock started on those mandates when the judgment was affirmed by the court of appeals and sent back to the trial court. The outside time frame was six months to comply with the mandates. Obviously, the owners of the golf course did not comply and, in accordance with the terms of the judgment, we retained an expert consultant to inspect the golf course and to issue a report of the deficiencies and failures to comply with the judgment which we then sent to the owners of the golf course with a demand that they comply within 30 days. That letter was sent on Feb. 21, 2019.
