8 Thereupon, the following proceedings were had:

9 MR. GAINSBURG: I had provided -- Barry

10 Gainsburg.

11 I was formerly representing Bio-Tech

12 Medical Software in this case. I'm no longer

13 working for Bio-Tech Medical Software.

14 I had provided them a stipulation for

15 substitution of counsel. They didn't sign --

16 The other side didn't sign it. I got a notice

17 of appearance on Monday. I would just like to

18 be off of the case.

19 THE COURT: I think, technically, you are,

20 but if it makes you happy.

21 MR. GAINSBURG: I thank you, sir.

22 MR. GOTTI: Yes, Your Honor.

23 Ronnie Gotti for the Shiner Law Group, now

24 representing Bio-Tech Medical Software, for the

25 plaintiff.

1 We just wanted to -- We didn't sign --

2 agree to a stipulation because we wanted to

3 preserve record evidence of what amounts to be

4 behavior of unethical conduct. For example,

5 prior counsel, Mr. Gainsburg, has filed a

6 complaint against Bio-Tech.

7 THE COURT: This is a substitution. You

8 wanted to withdraw.

9 MR. GAINSBURG: I'll do a new order.

10 MR. GOTTI: Has filed a complaint against

11 Bio-Tech Medical Software before even being

12 withdrawn as --

13 THE COURT: Perhaps; perhaps that's all

14 true. It doesn't matter. The case is

15 dismissed. He's just getting off. He's off.

16 This case was dismissed on April 21st.

17 MR. GAINSBURG: Can I go out and get an

18 order?

19 THE COURT: Yes.

20 MR. GAINSBURG: Thank you so much, Your

21 Honor.

22 MR. GOTTI: I think we are going to

23 reinstate the case.

24 THE COURT: Okay. But it may not be

25 reassigned to me.


(954) 525-2221


1 MR. GOTTI: It's just that --

2 That's acceptable, Your Honor.

3 THE COURT: It might be.

4 MR. GOTTI: It's just that there was a

5 strain between Bio-Tech and --

6 THE COURT: Wonderful.

7 MR. GOTTI: -- Mr. Gainsburg. So --

8 MR. GAINSBURG: I'll prepare that order.

9 Thank you, Your Honor.

10 MR. GOTTI: Thank you.
