The case was opened on the twenty-ninth of October 2006 by a petition for appointment of guardian of a minor, filed by Hale & Vance of Denver on behalf of Jolene R.

Thorne.

Four and a half months after the birth.

So not before.

Exhibit B is a letter of instruction to the firm, filed in support, and it is dated the eleventh of September 2006.

Thirteen weeks after Silas was born.
