ORDER FOR FURTHER BRIEFING

RE: PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR

ATTORNEY FEES AND SANCTIONS

On December 1, 2005, the Court held a hearing regarding Plaintiff's motion for attorney fees and

sanctions. Pursuant to discussions at the hearing, the Court hereby ORDERS as follows:

1) Defendants' counsel, Joel Joseph, shall file a declaration no later than December 15, 2005 in which

he attests under penalty of perjury as to whether each counterclaim filed in this matter complies with

the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). Thus, Mr. Joseph shall separately list

each counterclaim filed in this matter and, for each counterclaim, specifically address the elements in

FRCP 11(b)(1-4). Mr. Joseph shall be careful not to discuss any counterclaims together in

generalities; instead, he shall address each element for each counterclaim. Further, Mr. Joseph shall

not make any legal arguments as they could have been made in his opposition; rather, Mr. Joseph

shall address only the factual contentions of the counterclaims for each element listed in FRCP

11(b)(1-4); and

Upon review of the parties' submissions, the Court shall determine whether any further briefing or

hearing is necessary, or deem the matter submitted.
