Of those 15,000, we actually filed between 7 and 8,000. Of those 15,000 or 14,000 cases are down to less than 300 cases. That means that we've been working at 150%. So Out of the 30,000 cases that get presented over the past two years, my office has taken care of those 30,000 plus plus addressing the 14,000 that were sitting in the backlog. Now those cases are now in courts and depending on each judge because each judge controls their own calendar. (05:19–05:30)
