Re: Michael Dardashtian, et al. v. David Gitman, et al.
Docket No. 17-cv-4327 (LLS) (RWL)
Dear Hon. Robert W. Lehrburger:
By way of background, we are the attorneys for the Defendants, David Gitman, Accel
Commerce, LLC, Dalva Ventures, LLC, Channel Reply, Inc. (collectively hereinafter referred to
as “Defendants”), in the instant matter. It is understood that Dentons US LLP (“Dentons”) were
former counsel of record for the Defendants before they were permitted to withdraw. Further, Dentons
has asserted a charging or retaining lien on this case and the Court ordered Sim & DePaola LLP to hold
monies we received in escrow until further order from the Court.
We are pleased to advise this Court that Dentons’ legal fees have been resolved by way of
agreement, providing for the disbursement of funds to Dentons from my firm’s escrow account.
Therefore, on consent from all parties, we are making a formal application for this order to be vacated or
a new order issued by the Court permitting the funds to be withdrawn from our escrow account and
distributed in accordance with the agreement between Dentons and Defendants .

Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Sang J. Sim
Sang J. Sim, Esq.
Attorney for Defendants

Agreed and Accepted:
Dentons US LLP
