Texas trial attorney Mark Lanier has filed a Notice of Appearance to notify the court and counsel for GTECH Corporation (IGT) that he and his associate, Chris Gadoury, are appearing as lead trial counsel for the plaintiffs in the Fun 5’s lawsuit pending in Travis County. Attorneys Manfred Sternberg and Richard LaGarde continue to be counsel of record for plaintiffs along with Mr. Lanier and Mr. Gadoury. As many of you know, Mr. LaGarde was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and is currently undergoing chemotherapy at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Mr. LaGarde is in good spirits and wants all his clients to know that he is monitoring the progress of the case from his hospital room and he is very happy that his friend Mark Lanier has agreed to step in to help get the plaintiffs their day in court without any undue delay.
