Dear Judge Faman:
Following the conclusion of unsuccessful mediation efforts on my part, one of the
mediating parties called to my attention that my firm had represented another of the
mediating parties in a closed matter in the underlying bankruptcy case. The closed matter
was unrelated to the issues subject to mediation. Our conflict check disclosed a closed
matter, but it was not until it was just brought to my attention did I leam that the closed
matter involved one of the parties in the mediation.
I have been asked by one of the mediating parties to bring this issue to the Court's
attention in the event that any of the parties believe that mediation should continue without
my involvement. If the Court has further questions about this issue, I will respond
immediately.
Respectfully,
M Q ~g`€f1®/x
