REPLY TO PLAINTIFFS’ OBJECTION TO MOTIONS FOR ADMISSION OF

ATTORNEYS JAMES A. CAMPBELL, DALE SCHOWENGERDT, AUSTIN R.
NIMOCKS, AND BRIAN W. RAUM PRO HAC VICE

Plaintiffs object to the motions for admittance pro hac vice filed by Defendant

Sally Howe for Brian Raum, Dale Schowengerdt, Jim Campbell, and Austin Nimocks,

claiming that it is unclear as to why these motions were filed. To relieve any potential

ambiguity, these attorneys will be representing Defendant Howe as co-counsel with the

Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office. Counsel will file notices of appearance to that

effect pursuant to the Court’s local rules and form as soon as the pro hac vice motions are

granted, unless the Court directs them to be filed sooner. Furthermore, counsel seeking

admission pro hac vice are associating with the undersigned attorney, who moved their

admission. LCvR 83.3(a-b).

Finally, Plaintiffs seem to be objecting to Defendant Howe’s choice of counsel

generally. Nevertheless, it is axiomatic that parties have a fundamental right to counsel

of their own choosing, without the need to seek their opponents’ prior approval.
 Thus, Defendant Sally Howe requests that the Court grant her motions for the

admission pro hac vice of Brian Raum, Dale Schowengerdt, Jim Campbell, and Austin 

Nimocks for participation in the above referenced case as co-counsel for Defendant

Howe.   

Dated: March 23, 2010.

Respectfully submitted,
