Litepanels, LLC et al v. VFGadgets Inc., No. 2:06-cv-00167 (E.D. Tex. Mar. 5, 2007)

From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

On February 22, 2007, the Court heard several of the pending motions in this case. As stated at the hearing, Litepanels’ motion for extension of time is GRANTED (Docket No. 50), Gekko’s motion to remove a potential party is DENIED (Docket No. 47), and Gekko’s motion for pro bono mediation is DENIED (Docket No. 61). The Court ORDERS Gekko to pay the mediator’s fee by March 8, 2007. During oral arguments, Litepanels argued that David Amphlett is not entitled to represent Gekko pro se. The right to proceed pro se in civil actions is guaranteed by 28 U.S.C.
