Missing District Opinions from RECAP

I checked about nine months of reports for the MAD court - to see if the missing opinion was an anomaly.

scrape_pacer_free_opinions Command

Date Range	Missing/Total	Percentage Missing

09/01/23 -> 10/01/23	11 / 142	7.75%
10/01/23 -> 11/01/23	28 / 136	20.59%
11/01/23 -> 12/01/23	12 / 110	10.91%
12/01/23 -> 01/01/24	8 / 97	8.25%
01/01/24 -> 02/01/24	15 / 124	12.10%
02/01/24 -> 03/01/24	17 / 119	14.29%
Total	119 / 1049	11.34%

A significant number of opinions that appear in the scrape_pacer_free_opinions command for at least mad appear to not be ingested into the RECAP db.

A good number of these are civil cases - I would say the majority- and they often are cases that come from transferred cases but not exclusively. A fuller examination will need to be completed.

As a quick fix, perhaps we should just re-run the downloader starting from scratch, assuming that it skips things we already have in an efficient way. That wouldn't fix the root issue, but it'd plug some gaps.

we can certainly test it out for the last year in MAD and see if it catches everything.

That sounds great.
