The next

http://www.ibtimes.com/will-affluenza-teen-ethan-couch-be-deported-us-2273886

".................... “It is our understanding that paperwork has been filed by Ethan’s counsel in Mexico that will terminate the ongoing Mexican immigration proceedings," his lawyers, Scott Brown and William Reagan Wynn, said in a statement. "We believe that this will result in Ethan's return to the United States within the next few weeks.” ....................."

Is "the next" necessarily included in that sentence? Emotion: thinking
