Files in this directory are dockets that are not being properly processed by pacer_lib.reader Attempting to process these dockets generates:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "parse_docket_0220.py", line 6, in <module>
    a.parse_data("cacdce_2_07-cv-02544")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pacer_lib/reader.py", line 89, in parse_data
    docket_entries = docket_table.find_all('tr')
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find_all'

BeautifulSoup seems to not be reading the .html dockets correctly, resulting in the above error.
