Orin:
Calihan, Skivington and Milberg no long represent Mr. Ceglia. Pursuant to the local rules, we can withdraw
by stipulation or motion. Attached is a draft stipulation we would like you to sign, assuming that Ceglia,
Boland and Argentieri do so, which I anticipate will occur. Thanks.
Sandy

intervention to obtain this information.
