ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the Motion for Admission Pro Hac

Vice and Affidavit (Doc. 104) filed by Noah B. Abrams. The Motion indicates
that Mr. Abrams, a member in good standing of the Bar of this Court, is local
counsel for Plaintiff Douglas Grant Morton and that he seeks the admission
1

of Davis S. Popper, who the Motion represents as being a member in good
standing of the Bar of Georgia. It further appears that the requisite
admission fee has been paid, and that there is no opposition to the Motion.
Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Motion (Doc. 104) and ADMITS
Davis S. Popper to practice pro hac vice before the Court in this matter while
associated with local counsel.
