Thanks to KevinB for taking the time to look up the case (something the rest of us should have done).

Kevin may be correct when describing the case as not negatively impacting Ford's credibility. That is what some of us deserve for speculating the poster of that info wouldn't have bothered if it was a nothing-burger.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't bet on it unless the duration between paying off the debt with its generally simultaneous filing on the record of a release of lien (12-17) and the granting of dismissal <1-17) was a statutory period.

If it was not a statutory matter, Mr. & Mrs. Ford who were no doubt anxious and impatient to have their credit restored especially over the holidays might have wondered why the court was taking its sweet time to clear the title. And, they may have shared that view rather bitterly with close family members.

But again, Kevin is correct, there are much clearer issues with this dedicated political operative.
