There is a judgement and than an order.  The judgement was ruled
based on the facts and indeed, the most straightforward approach
argument was to point out the various time limitations.

However, the judge did not have to change the outstanding order,
but did so in a manner that affirms ARIN's role in administration
of the IP numbering resources.  That is the portion of the outcome
which is referred to.
