That's how I did it too. I actually found Sam.gov a lot easier to use than the old system. For instance, no more hunting around for "zip code +4" for subgrantees because it's already in the system.</div>

<p>Hi All--</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is just an FYI. A stipulation agreement was made in the Rhode Island case recently that sets the schedule for the lawsuit. The bottom line is that the lawsuit could have a resolution in mid- to late-October.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69844582/state-of-rhode-island-v-trump/" id="OWA5cc70fe5-206a-1c7d-732a-07f1e5895a10" class="OWAAutoLink" originalsrc="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69844582/state-of-rhode-island-v-trump/" data-auth="NotApplicable" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Click
on this sentence to read the Stipulation doc on CourtListener.</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The wheels of justice turn slowly...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, I had to do a FFATA the new way in Sam.gov and it was fun.<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif;">🤨</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mary</p>
