In March, the base case load would be reset to an average of ((2,189.1)) 2,331. If, in March, the credits from felony filings exceed the adjusted base case load of ((2,189.1)) 2,331by ((22.1)) 19 credits, then the department would be authorized to fill 1 of the remaining 19 FTE attorney positions because for February and March, the case load exceeded the adjusted base case load of ((2,189.1)) 2,350 credits by a multiple of ((22.1)) 19 and in April the base case load would be adjusted to ((2,211.2)) 2,350 credits.
