of a pseudoscalar emission model [@godfrey85xj] to determine their spectroscopic assignments. This leads to further predictions that can test these assignments and help fill gaps in excited $D_s$ multiplets.

The $D_{s1}^*(2710)^\pm$ and $D_{sJ}^*(2860)^\pm$ mesons have been studied in the context of various models [@Close:2006gr; @Zhang:2006yj; @Colangelo:2006rq; @Colangelo:2007ds; @vanBeveren:2006st; @vanBeveren:2009jq; @Zhang:2009nu; @Ebert:2009ua; @Zhong:2008kd; @Zhong:2009sk; @Chen:2009zt; @Chen:2011rr; @Li:2009qu; @Li:2010vx; @Badalian:2011tb; @Yuan:2012ej; @Guo:2011dd; @Wang:2013mml]. The $D_{s1}^*(2710)^\pm$ has been identified with the first radial excitation of the $D_{s1}^*(2112)^\pm$ or the $D_{s}^*(1^3D_1)$ or some mixture of them [@Close:2006gr; @Zhang:2006yj; @Colangelo:2007ds; @Zhong:2009sk; @Zhang:2009nu; @Chen:2009zt; @Li:2009qu; @Ebert:2009ua; @Li:2010vx; @Chen:2011rr; @Wang:2013mml; @Yuan:2012ej] and the $D_{sJ}^*(2860)^\pm$ as the $D_s(2^3P_0)$ [@Close:2006gr; @vanBeveren:2006st], the $D_{s}^*(1^3D_1)$ or the $D_{s}^*(1^3D_3)$ [@Colangelo:2006rq; @Zhang:2006yj; @Zhong:2009sk; @Zhang:2009nu; @Chen:2009zt; @Li:2009qu; @Li:2010vx; @Chen:2011rr; @Yuan:2012ej]. The $D_s(2^3P_0)$ does not appear to be a viable explanation because the $D_{sJ}^*(2860)^\pm$ has been observed in both $DK$ and $D^*K$ final states, although van Beveren and Rupp [@vanBeveren:2009jq] argue that the signal could be the result of two overlapping resonances. The theoretical predictions for these states are not completely consistent with their observed properties so it is useful to further test calculations against the experimental measurements. In the past we have found that the pseudoscalar emmission model [@godfrey85xj] for OZI allowed hadronic decays
