Speaking as an appellate attorney handling civil cases in both the federal and state court systems for 40 years, most of which have had at least $100,000 at stake, I believe Jeff is absolutely correct as to both the likelihood of an appeal and the time involved. Some cases which are initially appealed will also settle while the appeal is pending. We most likely do not have the final word in this matter at this time.
Best wishes to all,
