I think you have the cause and effect mixed up once again. The USP suit was filed before WMI was awarded the contract. The USP did not tell WMI not to conduct the audit, WMI choose to not perform the audit and the PGC said they were reluctant to cooperate with the audit. So it is WMI and the PGC that is causing the delay,not the USP.

Furthermore, the only group that is getting screwed by the delay is the PGC.
