The uneven levels of the claim and release in the second case
are nasty, please rework so that doesn't occur.

It will work as it is, but I'm feeling fussy ;)

I don't like the releasing something in the case statement which was
taken outside of it.  Either bring the claim inside as you did
above, or rework this to do the release after the switch
for all paths.
