Dated: 

JUDGE, U.S. DISTRICT COURT 

As reflected in the docket of the Zurich action, attorney Shoreman’s appearance as counsel in this case has raised several concerns, 

particularly with regard to the improper use of an attorney’s filing credentials and misrepresentation of that attorney’s role as local 

counsel in this case, without that attorney’s knowledge or permission. (See Doc. Nos. 156, 161, 162, 163, 164.) In light of this 

disturbing history, the court finds it appropriate to caution attorney Lisa Denise Nicolls, new local counsel who has filed a notice of 

appearance and sponsored attorney Shoreman’s pro hac vice applications in both the Zurich and Amazing actions, that she will be held 

responsible for all filings that utilize her credentials and must be responsive to the court’s communications. Further attorney Nicolls is 

reminded that pursuant to Local Rule 180(b)(2), she must be prepared to “readily communicate” with “the court and opposing 

counsel” regarding attorney Shoreman’s “conduct of the[se] action[s].”
