found that Gen-Con has no attorney of record due to the Bankruptcy petition filed in 2002. 

To that end, Anderson contacted the Bankruptcy Trustee, David A. Bradlow, endowed to 

process Gen-Con’s bankruptcy claim and was directed to contact Mr. Bradlow’s General 

Counsel, Michael A. Isaacs, Esq., of Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps LLP. On or 

about April 5, 2005, Anderson contacted Mr. Isaacs and requested his assistance with 

filing the instant request for dismissal. 

4. Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, Rule 6009, provides that: 

“the trustee or debtor in possession may prosecute or may enter an 

appearance and defend any pending action or proceeding by or against the debtor, 

or commence and prosecute any action or proceeding in behalf of the estate before 

any tribunal.” 

5. Therefore, Anderson requests this Court recognize Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps 

LLP as counsel for Gen-Con for the purpose of entering an order granting the dismissal of 

the instant action against Gen-Con and further order the May 9, 2005 Status Conference 

vacated.
