The Court has also reviewed the opinion of the Court of Appeals in 05-16847, which held that Guenther was not liable to Shimko for the fees owed in connection with CORF, and remanded for us to consider and determine Guenther's personal liability to Shimko in connection with unjust enrichment and quantum meruit. Plaintiff Shimko and Defendants Guenther shall file by March 3, 2008 their simultaneous post-trial memoranda limited solely to the redetermination of the amount of fees in connection with the remand order on unjust enrichment and quantum meruit pursuant to the opinion filed on October 12, 2007. Mr. McDaniel is to advise Mr. Guenther that the March 3, 2008 date is fixed so that he either needs to hire new counsel long before that date or do the best he can in terms of coming up with a memorandum. Parties agree to a referral of the entire case to a Magistrate Judge for the purpose of conducting a settlement conference. Magistrate Judge Mark E. Aspey has been randomly drawn. Parties to contact the chambers of Magistrate Judge Aspey for a date and time.
