Healthier Choices Mgmt Corp (HCMC)

Yes, I saw the statements in Dr. Dreible's (not sure that's the right spelling) declaration. My question about it was really whether that analysis happened before the case was filed or after. It's usually done before. I don't think it matters ultimately, because it either combusts or it doesn't combust, but if HCMC had that evidence in hand before the suit was filed, they could have attached it to the opposition to the MTD and just have been done with this whole problem. So it matters in that sense. I was expecting to see a declaration attached to HCMC's opposition but didn't. So it lead me to speculate that HCMC did not have it in hand. Then they ask for a two week extension to amend the complaint. All of it taken together just appeared like HCMC was on its heels. All was avoidable. Anyway, I am still holding, so let's see what comes Friday. HCMC has the opportunity to make this really embarrassing for PM if they want to. I hope they do.
