On

assigned
District Judge
issued this:
"counsel for
Defendants
Patrick
OConnor and
Bryan Marty
Waugh alerted
the Court to
benefactor
payments that
could give
rise to
potential
conflicts of
interest.
To that end,
by September
6, 2023,
counsel for
Defendants
OConnor and
Waugh shall
submit a joint
letter further
describing the

arrangements
at issue
here
(Signed by

wrote in to
say that yes,
Lewis'
Tavistock is
paying them -
but they
promise to
exercise
independent
professional
judgment...
