These payments were received after the publishers' deadline, so publication of the names could not be prevented. The Order declaring those on the List revoked was effective upon publication, September 26, 2011.

Their names should be stricken from the Court Order dated September 20, 2011 and published on September 26, 2011.Trending Stories
