Here's the full docket from the case, that I found available for
almost no charge (it cost me 56 cents!). The docket simply lists the
actual documents filed in the case, but you can get the gist of what's
going on. To access a fuller summary description of the case would
cost about $10 from Lexis/Nexis.
By the way, I did not see any cases involving Haverstick Consulting --
might they have used a different name?
If this information meets your needs, let me know, and I'll post it as
an answer to this question.
