Counsel Inquiry — Arbitration Date Confirmation

Priority 2 | Status: Pending user action

What to ask counsel

Please confirm with your attorney:

"What is the exact date of the arbitration decision in the Richard Litman matter? The research package currently uses June 14, 2023 (6/14/2023). Is that correct?"

Why it matters

The arbitration date is used throughout the defense package to establish post-arbitration timing:

KFU assignment examples (18/392,663 signed 12/21/2023; 18/383,448 signed 10/29/2023) are cited as "post-arbitration" — showing knowing/controlled use of Litman's name after the decision
JUDGE_DECISION_NOTES_2025-12-05 references "Post-6/14/23 knowing use" as an evidentiary theme
If the date is wrong, exhibits and chronology need to be updated

Current usage in the package

Location	How 6/14/2023 is used
KFU_EXHIBIT_TRACKER.md	KFU examples "after the 6/14/2023 arbitration decision"
STRONGEST_EVIDENCE_SO_FAR.md	"KFU assignment-cover-sheet examples post-6/14/2023"

After confirmation

If 6/14/2023 is correct: Update RESEARCH_LOG.md and ACCURACY_VERIFICATION_NOTES.md to mark as confirmed.

If the date is different: Note the correct date here and in the research log; the package will need a find-and-replace across the files listed above.
