Doc. 39

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION LAWRENCE D. KORN, Plaintiff, v. PAUL REVERE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant. / ORDER FOR SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTATION On February 6, 2008, the court held a hearing on "Defendant Paul Revere Life Insurance Company's Motion to Determine Application of ERISA" and Plaintiff Larry Korn's "Motion to Compel Responses to Requests for Production of Documents, Requests for Admissions and Other Discovery Requests." During the hearing, counsel for Plaintiff submitted that Plaintiff was the sole owner of his law firm Lawrence D. Korn, P.C. ("Korn, P.C.") and that attorney Kenneth A. Stern owned Kenneth A. Stern & Associates, P.C. ("Stern & Associates"). Plaintiff's counsel further maintained that Korn, P.C. and Stern & Associates were partners in a two-firm partnership. Conversely, counsel for Defendant claimed that Plaintiff was either a shareholder of Stern & Associates or a mere employee of Stern & Associates. Neither counsel had in their possession documentary evidence establishing the exact legal relationship between Plaintiff and Stern & Associates. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the parties supplement the record with documentary evidence in existence prior to the court's January 6, 2008 hearing identifying any partnership agreement or understanding between Plaintiff or Korn, P.C. and Mr. Stern Case No. 04-CV-70821-DT
