I just received this from Tom Devore's office:
Good Afternoon,

Tom is preparing a formal letter to send ALL plaintiffs, which will be sent out later today. However, today the Effingham Co Judge dismissed our case in its entirety. Effective immediately, you should no longer sell or transfer fi****ms to plaintiffs on the TRO.

We will provide additional information later this evening on the next steps.
