ORDER APPOINTING
GUARDIAN AD LITEM

This is a civil action relating to the proceeds of a homeowner’s insurance policy, and
one party to this litigation, Kelly Barber, is currently incarcerated by the South Carolina
Department of Corrections. The court hereby appoints attorney Ms. Logan Wells to represent
the counter-defendant, Kelly D. Barber, for the duration of this action.
1

In her capacity as guardian ad litem, Ms. Wells is authorized to appear as attorney of
record and to represent Mr. Barber’s interests in this case.
This order shall serve as the credentials for Ms. Wells to contact her client, either in
person or by way of telephone, and authorities with the SCDC are authorized to rely upon
this order to allow such visitation and/or telephone calls.
Ms. Wells has kindly agreed to enter this case on a pro bono basis, but the court
reserves the right to award her out of pocket expenses and possibly modest attorneys fees in
the event that her client obtains a share of the recovery in this action.
Mr. Kelly has filed a pro se answer. If, after reviewing the court documents in this
action, Ms. Wells deems it necessary, she is hereby authorized to file an amended answer or
other appropriate pleading on behalf of her client.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
