In addition, if we are moving forward with additional discovery, I recommend we procure an ISO ClaimSearch to see if there are any locations we need to subpoena in order to determine further grounds for apportionment.

As soon as we fix this error, we will file a Notice of Representation. I will then file an Answer to the Application for Adjudication of Claim, specifically asserting our statute of limitation
