From Iran, there is no reliable news channel for such a news here and also most of the states news websites are banned! so please refresh the topic as soon as there would be any sign from the court results, I need to more positive energy!!
If Amin's affidavit is questioned in something, it could be questioned in anything else too. But I cannot realize what it could give to plaintiffs. Even if it is not true that random algorithm was applied at all, it is clear that what was done was not random.
However, it is not so obvious that other years everything was 100% random. Anyway, I do not see a point for plaintiffs even if Amin is lying or does not know what he is writing about.
He wants to prove Kirit Amin's affidavite is not accurate. That is always good to get them like that.
what will the amended declaration will include?Egor says:

"The hearing is over. No decision yet. Amin’s declaration was proven to be inaccurate, the amended declaration is due tomorrow morning. We have little to no time to adequately reply".
My guess is court might give an injunction for several days because the final decision was delayed on this specific reason - DOS provided the court with inaccurate information. That means 3 or 4 days delay until DOS finally publishes it's results from scratch. I still believe White has no case, but DOS could be penalized for several days for discrepancies in it's declaration.We have little to no time to adequately reply
It should not have obvious discrepancies. The current one does.what will the amended declaration will include
the drama and dv 2012 movie continues to unfold!what will the amended declaration will include?

First, I was not present at the hearing.What specifically made Amin's declaration inaccurate? his explanation about 'non-randomness'?
That description contradicts obvious facts7. The programmer who wrote the program, however, made an error that essentially rendered the program ineffective. Instead of instructing the computer to renumber the petitions from entry date order to random order as required by 22 CFR § 42.33(c), the computer program simply selected entries in the existing order which was the order in which they entered plus two percent of applicants reordered as part of resulting from database optimization. Thus, the computer program designed to make selection random failed entirely.

No. White will need to have time to respond to new declaration. The judge would probably give an injunction for several days to give him that time.so once the amended declaration is submitted tommorow, will the Judge need a few days to make the decision
Order on Motion for Leave to File
MINUTE ORDER granting 10 Motion for Leave to File. The Clerk is directed to file plaintiffs' supplement to plaintiffs' reply to defendants' memorandum in opposition to plaintiffs' application for preliminary injunction. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 7/11/11. (lcabj2, )
@kwame O, welcome back, we missed you with your ever informative posts!No court gives injunction for days. Either preliminary injunction or injunction itself. Preliminary injunction is given until the case is finally decided on merits. Injunction is given permanently after the case has been finally decided and the moving party for injunction won. TRO last for 10days but the plaintiffs did not ask for TRO and besides I don't think any court will grant TRO in this situation. Refer to ABA preliminary injunction and Temporry Restraining Order.
As to whether plaintiffs have a case or not the Jude will decide.
10 days is too much for this type of inaccuracy. That could be a blow not only to DOS for what it did (submitted an inaccurate affidavit to the court), but to the DV-2012 program as well (the program could be delayed for 10 days because of that). If a court does not have an option to stop it for 2-4 days (that seems fair to me and still safe for the DV-2012 program), I do not think there will be any remedy at all.No court gives injunction for days.

Sure, it is possible. Moreover, when White appeals after the final decision, the court of appeals will definitely not have a decision until July 15th.
