Now, with those matters taken care of, we can move to the substance of the hearing today, which is for the purpose of conducting a preliminary hearing in this case. And although we did have a brief conference in chambers with the reporter, I just want to reiterate on the record that both sides are ready to proceed to preliminary hearing. Is that right, Mr. Shapiro?
