Plaintiff/Counterdefendant Meadowlark Lemon (hereinafter "Plaintiff"), hereby responds to the Order to Show Cause Why Sanctions Should Not be Imposed for NonCompliance with Mandatory Electronic Filing by stating that counsel for Plaintiff has filed everything electronically since August 1, 2005, and will continue to do so. Specifically, counsel for Plaintiff has only filed one document since the Court imposed this Order to Show Cause, which was titled "Counterdefendant Lemon's Second Filed Answer to Counterclaim Due to Counter-Claimant's Improper and Meritless Application for Entry of Default Against Counterdefendant Lemon." That document was filed electronically on August 8, 2005.

Plaintiff's counsel has had a Pacer account for over three (3) years and to the best of Plaintiff's knowledge, Plaintiff has complied with all mandatory filing requirements. If the Court requires further information, please let us know immediately. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff's counsel respectfully requests that sanctions not be imposed.
DATED this 6th day of September 2005.
