Having just read the documents, then called Washington State to confirm their legitimacy, let's simply say that this is "interesting" to say the least.

Be careful here however because while the documents state clearly that both Shukis and the firm representing Amiga Inc have requested to withdraw as council,  it does not say why.

There are several possibilities including:

- a lack of payment (most likely)
- getting fed up with the silly tactics involved by McEwen (as shown in the deposition) (second most likely)
- a possible disclosure of facts which have come to light creating some sort of conflict which has not been disclosed.
- last but not least, personal issues for the attorneys involved

Unfortunately this does NOT automatically mean that Amiga will have to default on this case.  *IF* they can find someone stupid enough to take the case for no money, chances are that Judge Lasnik will grant a delay in order for the new attorneys to catch up and proceed.  That *is unless* the Judge decides to accept the multiple motions for sanction.

The Judge more than likely held a conference with the attorneys involved to discuss the exact reason.  The reason does not have to be disclosed in court case documentation.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to offend.  I just don't figure there's any reason to try and hide the documents, since they're even in the wide-open directory on Rich's site.  

I honestly believe everyone needs to read them, and I believe even moreso that people need to get help in understanding them BEFORE rumors and fighting get out of hand (as usual).   Wonder who will submit them to slashdot and OSNews this time?
