KURT SAUER, 

Counter Claimant,

vs.

NABIL SAMAAN,

Counter Defendant.

________________________________/

Presently pending on this court’s law and motion calendars in the upcoming

weeks are various discovery motions in this case. The issue of whether Mr. Samaan may

properly represent himself as an attorney in light of the fact that he has retained counsel, Mr.

Fields, is an issue that needs to be resolved sooner rather than later.
