Jim is appealing. He's off to the Supremes, as I wrote about in June, after

Don't recall who's handling it; I'd have to see if I can dig up those
papers (and I just had my office repainted, so it's a mess). Robert Leen
may be, which would make for an interesting situation, since he'd
presumably have to argue that he was an incompetent lawyer -- but I don't
remember.
