1. Plaintiffs filed its original Complaint with this Court on November 24, 2009. While a trial was originally scheduled for March 2009, the matter was continued while the Louisiana Supreme Court contemplated revisions to the Rules of Professional Conduct that are at controversy. 2. On June 4, 2009, the Louisiana Supreme Court issued an order amended some of the rules at controversy in this proceeding, and specifically amended Rule 7.6(d) and 7.10(c)(10), which affect the Complaint of Plaintiffs. 3. In response to these June 2009 changes, the Plaintiffs seek to amend their Complaint. Plaintiffs have contacted the Defendants to this matter, who do no oppose the amendment. Further, Plaintiffs aver that the amendment should not delay the trial of this matter or the existing Scheduling Order.
