Not yet in PA. Eventhough this is a US court decision it does not apply to
us because we are not in the District where the case was heard.

But in the abscense of a contrary decision in the Eastern District of PA, you would be acting in good faith relying on the decision of the other district. While decisions from other districts do not BIND local districts, they can be cited as "persuasive".
