Hi Tonia,

The link to the lawsuit press release is also available here at the

group in the Links section, where clicking on the link should work

just fine. Here is the path to the cached website link:

Links Section > Insurance Folder > Litigation Concerning Coverage of

Cranial Orthoses for Treatment of Plagiocephaly Folder > Devine

(DOCband)

Would you let me know if you are able to find it properly?

Take care and good luck,
