                of claims, defenses, or other legal contentions that 
                are not warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous 
                argument for extending, modifying, or reversing 
                existing law or for establishing new law, the judge

                subject of the petition and order the recipient to 
                comply with the directive or any part of it. Upon 
                making such a determination or promptly thereafter, the 
                judge shall provide a written statement for the record

                determines that a petition described in subparagraph 
                (C) requires plenary review, the judge shall affirm, 
                modify, or set aside the directive that is the subject
