CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE This afternoon I contacted Hunter Polvi, counsel for Appellee in this appeal, and asked whether Appellee opposed the relief sought through this motion. He told me that he would not answer the question unless I first explained my analysis involved in handling this matter. Because I am unwilling to share my work product and strategic thinking with opposing counsel, I cannot represent whether this motion is opposed or not.
