The settlement appears to force them to produce all the missing records, which is all the suit was about. No point in continuing a suit if the settlement gives you everything you want.

Honestly this is just as much about them working through the court system for me as it is about their opposition getting the intended result. Florida's Governor and his administration have cost a lot of lives and I want things to be costly for them and the tax payers who support them.
