ORDER OF SPECIAL MASTER
______________________________________________________________________________
THIS MATTER comes before the Special Master on Claimant’s motion for appointment of
counsel. The motion was received on June 2, 2012.
The Remedial Plan is the settlement document that was submitted by the parties to thenJudge Nottingham. The Remedial Plan in Article XXXII does not include any provision for the
appointment of counsel for a claimant. Likewise, federal law does not provide any basis for
appointment of counsel in a civil case. Article XXXII does provide that a claimant may secure an
attorney on his own at his own expense. There simply is no basis upon which Claimant’s motion
could be granted.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Claimant’s motion for appointment of counsel is denied.
SIGNED this 4th day of June, 2012.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Richard M. Borchers
