A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An expedited proceeding is a legal process that is carried out quickly and efficiently. It is usually initiated by a show-cause order, which requires the party to appear before a court or administrative body and explain why a certain action should not be taken against them. This type of proceeding is also known as a show-cause proceeding, summary process, or summary procedure.

Example: A landlord may initiate an expedited proceeding against a tenant who has not paid rent for several months. The landlord would file a show-cause order with the court, which would require the tenant to appear and explain why they have not paid rent. If the tenant cannot provide a valid reason, the court may issue an eviction order, which would require the tenant to vacate the premises within a certain period of time.

Explanation: In this example, the expedited proceeding is initiated by the landlord, who is seeking to evict the tenant for non-payment of rent. The show-cause order requires the tenant to appear before the court and explain why they have not paid rent. If the tenant cannot provide a valid reason, the court may issue an eviction order, which is a legal action that requires the tenant to leave the property. This type of proceeding is expedited because it is carried out quickly and efficiently, without the need for a lengthy trial or hearing.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
