ORDER

Previously, the Court denied the requests to allow Michael P. Marsalese,
Esq. to appear pro hac vice in this case and to appear by special admissions without
associating with local counsel. (Order, Nov. 3, 2011.) As the Court pointed out in
its prior Order, Mr. Marsalese is not a member of the North Carolina bar and is not
licenced to practice in this Court. (Id.) In addition, he did not pay the admission
fees and had not associated with local counsel as required by Local Rule
83.1(D)(1) to appear pro hac vice. (Id.) The Court further instructed Mr.
Marsalese that if he wanted to be admitted pro hac vice in this case, he must
associate himself with local counsel who is admitted in this Court and pay the
admission fee. (Id.)
Since the entry of this Order, Mr. Marsalese has not paid the admission fee
and has not associated himself with local counsel. In addition, Mr. Schifino has not
moved to appear pro hac vice. Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk to
remove John Schifino and Michael Marsalese as attorneys of record in this case.
Finally, the Court DIRECTS Gary K. Sue, Esq. to Show Cause in writing within

five (5) days of the entry of this Order as to whether he intends to represent
Plaintiff Serefex Corporation in this matter.
