No he did not. He "predicted" the success of their claims using old data. The law "mandated"(by his own reading) a de novo review. That was the whole purpose for the TRO request. IOW "Give us time to get that review". It is ludicrous to claim that it was met, since there would be no need for a TRO if the review was accomplished. IT WAS NOT DONE.
That's what the Schindlers brought him to look at, procedural claims from the state court proceedings - go look at their brief. But it doesn't matter - even if I grant that it didn't constitute the de novo review that Congress wanted, she still dies because they cannot get the injunction they need in order to make it to that de novo review. "Give us more time to gather new evidence" is not now, nor has it ever been sufficient to gain an injunction. That is not an argument that meets the standards required to gain an injunction. Period. Therefore, the only possible recourse for injunctive relief was statutory relief, which Congress failed to provide.
