ORDER INSTRUCTING DEFENDANT

PLAYER WIRE WHEELS LTD TO

SERVE ITS COUNSEL WITH A COPY

OF THE CONFIDENTIAL

STATEMENT PREVIOUSLY

SUBMITTED TO THE COURT FOR IN

CAMERA REVIEW

On December 1, 2006, Vakili & Leus LLP and Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard & Smith LLP filed an

Ex Parte Application to withdraw as counsel for defendant Player Wire Wheels LTD (“PWW”), citing a

breakdown of the attorney-client relationship [Doc. No. 88]. Counsel for PWW served an un-redacted

copy of the Ex Parte Application on its client, and at the Court’s direction served a redacted copy of the

application on Plaintiffs’ counsel. (See Proof of Service attached to Defense Counsel’s Ex Parte

Application, Doc. No. 88-2, executed December 1, 2006.) On December 5, 2006, pursuant to the

Court’s request, an authorized representative of Player Wire Wheels LTD submitted a written opposition

directly to the Court for in camera review. In its submission to the Court, PWW unequivocally opposed

its counsel’s request to withdraw from representation. On December 12, 2006, the Court denied the

application to withdraw [Doc. No. 94]. On December 16, 2006, defense counsel contacted the Court to

request a copy of its client’s submission to the Court.
