In light of your admirable batting average, we may need to reinsert you in the CATS Litigation! All the best. Jim -----Original Message----- From: Williams, Robert C. Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2001 10:57 AM To: Leff, Dan; Sharp, Vicki; Derrick Jr., James Cc: Blachman, Jeremy Subject: Linton v. Omnicomp We settled this case at mediation yesterday for a $125,000 payment by Omnicomp and a $125,000 payment by Steve Heinz. The reason we settled is that we had some exposure (the two mock juries both came back in favor of Linton, awarding an average of $1 million in damages), and the estimated cost of litigation through trial and appeal was $150,000-$175,000. Our counsel, Tom Allen of Reed Smith, did an excellent job with the case, and I would recommend using him again. Please call me with any questions.
