Q. So is it accurate that after you filed what's Exhibit 2, that the dean of the law school asked you to file a corrected version with the footnote?
A. No. That misunderstands what I said. Early on, just in talking -- I do a lot pro bono litigation for crime victims all over the country, and I do that, that's one of the reasons I'm at the University of Utah. They have been very supportive of my pro bono work in this case as well as in other cases, and so the dean said, well, one of the things just might be helpful is to drop a footnote. I don't think it was required that I drop the footnote, nobody suggested it would be useful to drop the footnote, and so I agreed to do that in this case and in other cases as well, but somehow in this particular pleading, the -- as I say, the signature block possibly was a cut-and-paste from an earlier pleading in the case, possibly it was some issue involving that section feature of the word processing program. The star footnote had dropped off.
And so once I realized that without anyone calling that to my attention when I looked at the brief a couple of days after we filed it, and said, oh, I need to fix that and did, indeed, fix that as quickly as I could.
Q. What was the context in which the dean asked
