` Re: Madukwe v. Delaware State University, et. al.,
C.A. No. 07-775 *** {LPS)
Dear Judge Stark:
I write on behalf of Defendants Delaware State University, Allen Sessorns, Mark .
Farley, Carolyn Curry, and Penelope Howe ("l)efendants") in response to the Court’s Order ·
setting a Rule 16 scheduling teleconference in the above-referenced matter for February 6, 2008. ¤
(DI. 18)
As the Court is aware, Defendants filed a Motion to Disqualify Plaintiff s _
Counsel, and supporting documents, on January 24, 2008. (DJ. 19, 20, 2l) In light ofthe
implications of that motion, Defendants request that the Rule 16 conference be held in abeyance
pending resolution of their Motion to Disqualify Plaintiff s Counsel. Defendants strongly
believe in the merit of their motion, and it seems to be both unfair and inefficient, to the parties
as well as the Court, to agree to a schedule with counsel who may later be disqualified.
We have consulted Plaintiff s counsel, and can relay that plaintiff takes no
position on Defendants’ request to forego the entry of a scheduling order at this tirne. However,
Plaintiff s counsel believes that it would be helpful to keep the February 6 teleconference on the
calendar for purposes of briefly discussing the schedule as it relates to the pending Motion to
Disqualify.
Counsel are available at the Court’s convenience if Your Honor has any
questions.
_ Res ectfully,
