11`h Judicial Circuit, Civil Division, Case No.: 11-7734 CA 24. The law firm currently

Although there is no present conflict of interest between the positions of the City and All
Terrain Earthmoving Limited Company, LLC, in the Wilfredo Diaz litigation, there is the
potential for a conflict due to the fact that the two parties are co-defendants in this lawsuit.
Waiving the potential conflict of interest will permit the law firm of Cole, Scott & Kissane,
P.A., to represent All Terrain Earthmoving Limited Company, LLC in the Wilfredo Diaz
lawsuit.
