The entry of the Leave to Appeal Order does not mean that Dr. Arunachalam cannot appeal the Order Denying Pro Se Defendant Dr. Lakshmi Arunachalam’s Emergenc y Motion to Substitute Parties under Delaware Rule 25(c) and Federal Rule (c) due to New Facts and Circumstances that Defendant Pi

4 There is nothing new in the Motion to Reconsider. In the Mo tion to Reconsider, Dr. Arunachalam continues to litigate the underlying facts and law of the civil action. Moreover, Dr. Arunachalam presents the same facts and arguments made in previous filings with the Court. The Court’s decision in the Substitution Order was on the narrow legal issue of whether Dr. Arunchalam could be substituted for Pi

Net International, Inc. under Superior Court Civil Rule 25(c). Dr. Arunchalam, for some unknown reason, persistently provides the Court with information irrelevant t o the legal or factual issue before the Court. Whether, as Dr. Arunachalam pleads, the Plaintiffs have a viable case against Dr. Arunachalam and Pi

- Net International, Inc. is not relevant to the issue of who, if anyone, legally may be the transferee of th e interest of Pi

- Net International, Inc. under California law for purposes of Superior Court Civil Rule 25(c).
