Clarification of Status of Counsel
Undersigned counsel has been informed that the Court seeks some clarification as to counsel’s status in the above captioned matter. Initially, it appeared that the trial of this case would take place during the spring or summer of 2003. In August 2003, counsel left South Carolina to resume his duties as a professor of law at Cornell Law School in Ithaca, New York. Counsel will not return to South Carolina until December of 2003, and, during the spring semester, counsel will be commuting on a regular basis between Ithaca and Columbia, South Carolina. This will make it difficult, if not impossible for counsel to continue to serve as counsel of record in this matter. Thus counsel informs the court that he is no longer serving as counsel of record in these proceedings.
Respectfully submitted,
John H. Blume
Cornell Law School
Myron Taylor Hall
Ithaca, NY 14853-4901
