According to the docket, on February 5, 2010 Judge Margaret Morrow signed an Order granting Affliction's request to have "Steven A. Silverstein to substitute as attorney of record in place and stead of Michael H. Bassiri" and terminating Bassiri as counsel."
On July 20, 2010, Judge Morrow granted Judd Burstein's application to appear pro hac vice as counsel for Affliction. Thus, at least as of July of this year, Judd Burstein was representing Affliction.
Well it appears Burstein's involvement may be short-lived because on August 23, 2010 Burstein filed a motion to withdraw as counsel for Affliction.
In his declaration in support of the motion, Burstein states, inter alia:
Defendants have decided that it is unnecessary to employ two sets of counsel in this matter, i.e. (a) the attorneys at Silverstein and Huston, and (b) me. Accordingly we have decided together that it is best for me to withdraw from this action. As a result, Defendants have given their consent to the relief sought herein. In particular, Defendants advised me of their consent on August 9, 2010.Fight Lawyer
