I've worked with lawyers on appeal cases - as is typical with any litigation, appeals can take a LONG time. The fastest ones can take months to resolve. So the fact that the appeal was filed last week, and it was granted today, with the brief in support due TODAY and the reply due tomorrow? That is unheard of. It's very good that the Court agrees and lets us make the argument.
Whether it could be a bad thing that it's going through so quickly - well, it's only bad if the lawyers don't have their shit together and can't put a good argument before the Court.

Thank you so much for the detailed response. Exactly what I was looking for, much love.
What do you guess the odds of that are in this case?
I started reading our brief: the lawyers did good. I'm hopeful the 3rd Circuit will be fair.
