Motion Court
4. Attached hereto collectively as Motion Exhibit 4, aro copies of lattere
{elated to the subject matiar of this Motion that ara eaif ayplanatary Pureuant ta
the undersigned counse's Apri 2, 2009 comespondence to this Court, no

the presiding judge does not appear to meet the requirements and prerequisites,
then applicable, to satisfy eligibilty to take the West Virginia bar exam, and
"aturally, would not be eligible for the admission to the practice of law in West

asserts that f the presiding judge could not satisfy the then applicable rule and
prerequisites governing the admission to the practice of law. and was nat aligihie
