ORDER

DENNIS HOWELL, Magistrate Judge

THIS MATTER is before the court upon Thomas A. M. Boggs' Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice (#84). Based on the contentions in such motion, the representations made to this court during the initial appearance in open court, and the stellar reputation of Mr. Boggs within the legal community, the court will of its own motion convert the motion from pro hac vice to one for special admission.

Finding that employment of local counsel is not necessary in light of Mr. Boggs' qualifications, the court will allow Mr. Boggs to proceed before this court without the association of local counsel. Mr. Whitesides, who sponsored Mr. Boggs' admission to the Bar of this court and made a limited appearance for such purpose, is thanked for his service and relieved of further representation of Mr. Henderson as local counsel.

ORDER

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Thomas A. M. Boggs' Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice is GRANTED, and Thomas A. M. Boggs' is ADMITTED to specially appear and represent Mr. Henderson in this particular case without association of local counsel. Mr. Whitesides, who specially appeared in this matter for the purpose of introducing Mr. Boggs, is respectfully RELIEVED of further appearing in this matter.
