My understanding is that they originally filed the lawsuit with the DC courts, summons were issued, defendants served, but there was no movement from the US attorney. I don’t know why— not sure if anyone even looked at it as there were no case updates, so it may have just been the high volume of lawsuits filed in DC. But I have no idea.
My lawyer and the defendants then agreed the best course of action would be to refile the case in my state, which was known to move faster. They handled that all on their end, and as soon as they did our case started to get touched and then we got the 2nd medical request within a month.
