KARIE N. WILSON, ESQ. of the law firm MESSNER REEVES, LLP, hereby files this motion seeking to be added to the Court's service list as counsel of record for Defendants Landstar Ranger, Inc. and Scott A. Gregory, pursuant to the Order Granting Substitution of Counsel for Defendants filed November 7, 2022. ... 1
MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
Karie N. Wilson, Esq. recently transitioned as a Partner at Alverson Taylor & Sanders to Messner Reeves LLP. Ms. Wilson continues to represent Defendants Landstar Ranger, Inc. and Scott A. Gregory and filed a Substitution of Counsel for each Defendant. The substitution was granted on November 7, 2022. See Order Granting Stipulation of Substitution of the Law Firm of Messner Reeves, LLP, as Attorney of Record by Defendant Landstar Ranger, Inc., Docket No. 22. Alverson Taylor & Sanders subsequently filed a Motion for Removal From CM/ECF Service List as to J. Bruce Alverson, Esq. and Karie N. Wilson, Esq. on November 15, 2022. See Motion for Removal From CM/ECF Service List, Docket No. 25. This motion stated, “J. Bruce Alverson, Esq. is no longer involved in this matter” and “Karie N. Wilson, Esq. is no longer affiliated with the law firm Alverson Taylor & Sanders.” See Docket No. 25. In filing this motion, Alverson Taylor & Sanders did not clarify that it was seeking only the removal of Karie N. Wilson as previously associated with Alverson Taylor & Sanders, kwilson@alversontaylor.com. When the Court granted the Motion for Removal From CM/ECF Service List it specified “to remove only Karie N. Wilson's email address with Alverson Taylor - not Wilson's email with Messner Reeves, the firm with which Wilson is now associated - from the service list.” See Docket No. 26. However, when the Motion for Removal From CM/ECF Service List was implemented, Karie N. Wilson, Esq. of the law firm Messner Reeves, LLP was removed from the service list entirely as counsel of record for Defendants. Kurt R. Bonds, Esq. of Alverson Taylor & Sanders, as the attorney who signed the Motion for Removal, was thereafter incorrectly identified as counsel for Defendants. 2
Pursuant to the Substitution of Counsel, and the Court's prior Order (Docket No. 26), Karie N. Wilson, Esq. of the law firm Messner Reeves, LLP hereby requests that she be identified and included on the Service List as counsel of record for Defendants Landstar Ranger, Inc. and Scott A. Gregory, in the place and stead of Kurt Bonds, Esq.
IT IS SO ORDERED. 3
