FACTS
2.01 This case is currently set for a jury trial beginning on October 26, 2009.
2.02 Plaintiff attaches hereto Exhibit A, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons -
September 2, 2009, and Exhibit A-1 through Exhibit A-10 attached thereto, to establish
facts not apparent from the record and incorporates them herein by reference.
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 2 of 20
2.03 Plaintiffs former attorneys filed and prosecuted this lawsuit against the
Greenberg Defendants and the Motsenbocker Defendants for damages resulting from
their failure to timely prosecute fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence claims
against the Turley Defendants; and to timely prosecute fraud on the federal court
claims, pursuant to FED.R.CIV.P. 60(b), against both the DuPontlConoco Defendants
and the Turley Defendants. The underlying "cases within the case" arose from the
discovery, in proceedings for a legal malpractice case against the Turley Defendants,
that the Turley Defendants had aided and abetted the Gardere & Wynne, L.L.P.
attorneys representing the DuPontlConoco Defendants in a conspiracy to defraud
Plaintiff and a federal court of evidence needed to decide the merits of Plaintiffs
wrongful death claims against the DuPontlConoco Defendants arising from the wrongful
death of Ann Parsons in the crash of a DuPont-owned and a Conoco-operated
corporate jet in Malaysia on September 4, 1991. The concealed and/or destroyed
evidence showed that the DuPontlConoco Defendants committed fraud against the
federal government before and after the jet crash, concealing evidence of the
companies' pilot's alcoholism and the companies' officers' subjective awareness of the
extreme risk of harm caused by the companies' officers' gross mismanagement.
2.04 In May 2007, when Plaintiff had his initial interview with M. Kevin Queenan
("Queenan") to take over the case, Plaintiff told Queenan that in addition to the claims
asserted in Plaintiffs Original Petition, Plaintiff wanted to hire a lawyer who was willing
to prosecute his claims against the Greenberg Defendants and the Motsenbocker
Defendants that arose from his lawyers' breaches of fiduciary duty and possibly fraud, in
not timely perfecting any of the legal claims that they had been hired to prosecute,
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 3 of 20
including an independent action, pursuant to FED.R.CIV.P. 60(b), that they
recommended Plaintiff prosecute seeking to set aside the final judgment in the
underlying federal case ("Parsons v. DuPonf') on grounds that newly discovered
evidence showed that the final judgment in Parsons v. DuPont would not have been
obtained, but for collaborative frauds upon the federal court that had been carried by the
DuPont/Conoco Defendants and the Turley Defendants.
2.05 In October 2007, after a five-month review of evidence the 117 file-boxes
of documentary evidence that Plaintiff provided to Queenan, Queenan filed Plaintiffs
First Amended Petition in this case adding breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and other
claims.
2.06 On February 14, 2008, Frederick M. Baron ("Baron") and Baron's wife,
Lisa A. Blue Baron ("Blue"), former Baron & Budd, P.C. ("B&B") President and Secretary
respectively, filed Entry of Appearance as attorneys of record for Greenberg in this
case.
2.07 On March 19,2008, Charla M. G. Aldous ("Aldous"), another former B&B
Director, filed Entry of Appearance as attorney of record for Legal Services P.C., Robert
M. Greenberg, Attorney.
2.08 Between June 6, and September 30, 2008, Judge Fred W. Davis signed
orders blocking Queenan's efforts to obtain admissible evidence needed to prove the
damages that the Greenberg Defendants and the Motsenbocker Defendants had
caused Plaintiff by not timely perfecting Plaintiffs independent action for fraud upon a
federal court against the DuPont/Conoco Defendants and the Turley Defendants.
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 4 of 20
2.09 Judge Davis' bias against Plaintiffs lawful objectives is exemplified by his
August 11, 2008, order stating that discovery would be limited to evidence showing only
the liability for and damages from the fruitless pursuit of only the legal malpractice
claims against the Turley Defendants. In the same order he signed on August 11, 2008,
Judge Davis ruled to exclude any evidence that could be used to prove the viability
and/or value (recoverable compensatory or punitive damages) of any underlying case
that would have been recovered, but for the actions or inactions of the Greenberg
Defendants and/or the Motsenbocker Defendants. Judge Davis stated:
"By Order entered June 6, 2008, the Court has previously granted
Defendants Robert E. Motsenbocker's and Shafer, Davis, O'Leary &
Stoker, P.C.'s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment and has ordered that
Plaintiff take nothing on his claims for lost punitive damages. Based upon
that ruling, the Court finds that the only alleged damages the Plaintiff is
entitled to recover in this case are the attorneys fees and expenses that
he paid to the Defendants and all other expenses Plaintiff paid to others,
including but not limited to, expert witness fees and investigator fees and
expenses in pursuing his claims against Windle Turley. Based upon the
Court's rulings, insofar as the proffered testimony of Plaintiffs proposed
experts are not relevant to Plaintiffs claims against these Defendants,
such testimony should be excluded at the trial of the case."
2.10 However, Judge Davis' June 6, 2008, order only granted the defendants'
motion for partial summary judgment relating only to the recoverability of lost punitive
damages arising from one cause of action, legal malpractice. Defendants' attorney's
fictitiously misconstrued the scope of Judge Davis' ruling in subsequent pleadings they
filed to obtain orders, like the one on August 11, 2008, in which Judge Davis dictates
that evidence Plaintiff requires to prove his damages claims is "irrelevant." Thereby
Judge Davis acted contrary to Texas law cutting off all discovery of evidence required to
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 5 of 20
prove the damages caused to Plaintiff through the loss of the two underlying cases
within this case.
1
Facts Relating to Grounds for Disqualifying Judge Fred W. Davis
2.11 After Judge Davis signed his order on August 11, 2008, Parsons began an
investigation into the underlying causes for what Parsons believed was an illogical
ruling, based upon the layman's understanding of Texas law he had developed in the
seventeen years he had devoted to the discovery and prosecution of his and his wife's
estate's the legal claims. Parsons did not tell Queenan about his investigation, however
Parsons instructed Queenan to prepare and file a mandamus action for relief from
Judge Davis' rulings oppressing Plaintiff's right to conduct discovery. Parsons also
instructed Queenan to prepare and file an amended petition, based upon new evidence
Parsons had discovered and provided to Queenan showing why the wave of former
B&B officers/attorneys (the Barons and Aldous) were suddenly making appearances on
behalf of the Greenberg Defendants, and showing that there was justification for joining
the Baron Defendants, under a liability of respondeat superior for the breaches of
fiduciary duty against Plaintiff by the Baron Defendants' employees - the Greenberg
Defendants and the Motsenbocker Defendants; and that there was justification for
joining the DuPont/Conoco Defendants and the Turley Defendants, under a liability
theory of unjust enrichment through unexercised liability insurance instruments that
were purchased specifically to cover Plaintiff's damages claims in the underlying cases

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 6 of 20
against them for fraud upon a federal court, pursuant to FED.R.CIV.P. 60(b) ("the fraud
upon the federal court case").
2.12 In the hearing before Judge Davis on October 31, 2008, Judge Davis
interrogated Queenan about what he knew about Parsons' open records requests for
the personal financial statements of Judge Davis' wife, who serves as a Tarrant County
Justice of the Peace. Judge Davis insisted that Queenan ask Parsons why he wanted
this information. Judge Davis allowed Queenan a few minutes after the hearing to
confer with Parsons before reporting back to Judge Davis in his office. In his conference
with Queenan outside Judge Davis' courtroom, Parsons told Queenan why he was
gathering the information on the financial circumstances of Judge Davis' family, but that
Parsons had not yet received responses to any of his open records requests for the
personal financial reports filed with the Tarrant County Clerk by Judge Davis' wife, and
therefore could not answer the questions Judge Davis posed to Queenan in the hearing:
" ... are there any issues here that I'm not aware of that I need to be aware of ... " " ... 1 just
want to know if there is anything that I need to know about. .. " (October 31, 2008,
Hearing Transcript, pg. 5, In. 2-4 and 22-24, Exhibit 4, to Exhibit A-1, to Exhibit A,
Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009.) Parsons was never advised what
was said in the meeting between the attorneys in Judge Davis' office after the hearing.
2.13 On December 15, 2008, Parsons received a letter from Queenan (Exhibit
5, to Exhibit A-1, to Exhibit A, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009).
Under the circumstances, Parsons believed that Queenan's letter was an extrajudicial
threat issued by Judge Davis that unless Parsons stopped his investigation of Judge
Davis' family's financial dealings, Judge Davis would retaliate against Parsons by
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 7 of 20
denying Plaintiff recovery on the only damages claims Judge Davis was allowing to go
forward after signing his August 11, 2008, order - disgorgement of approximately $1
million in fees and expenses Parsons paid out-of-pocket to or on behalf of the
Greenberg Defendants and the Motsenbocker Defendants during the eight years they
worked on Parsons' cases. On information and belief of the circumstances and timing of
Queenan's letter, Parsons suspected that in the meeting between the lawyers in Judge
Davis' office after the hearing on October 31, 2008, Judge Davis told Queenan to
deliver this treat to Parsons under the ruse of it being "legal advise."
2.14 Immediately after receiving Queenan's December 15, 2008, letter, and
Queenan's notice that he would not file an amended petition adding the new defendants
because he had a conflict of interest, Parsons drafted Plaintiffs Third Amended Petition
and filed it pro se on at 8:05 a.m. on December 22, 2008. A file-stamped copy of
Plaintiffs Third Amended Petition was hand-delivered to Queenan just before an
emergency hearing requested by the Greenberg Defendants at 9:00 a.m. that morning.
2.15 At the hearing Queenan told the attorneys and Judge Davis that I had filed
Plaintiffs Third Amended Petition pro se that morning and that the Baron Defendants,
the DuPontlConoco Defendants and the Turley Defendants had been joined as
defendants. (December 22, 2008, Hearing Transcript pg. 4, In. 21-25 and pg. 5, In. 1-8,
Exhibit A-2, to Exhibit A, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009.)
"Morning, Your Honor. Kevin Queenan. I represent Roger Parsons. For
purposes of additional information for the Court, Mr. Parsons filed a third
amended petition at 8:05 this morning adding Fred Baron, the estate of
Fred Baron, DuPont, Conoco, Windle Turley and the Law Offices of
Windle Turley. I do not represent Mr. Parsons in connection with those
claims. He handed me this petition this morning and said that as a pro se
plaintiff, he was amenable to whatever to whatever the parties agreed to
or obviously whatever the Judge ruled on, but I want to make sure that the
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 8 of 20
for the purposes of my representation, that I represent Mr. Parsons for the
claims that were on file in the second amended petition."
2.16 At the end of the hearing on December 22, 2008, Judge Davis
acknowledged his understanding that Plaintiff's Third Amended Petition had made the
"new case" far more complex than the case upon which he had made his prior rulings,
stating " ... as far as the new lawsuit is concerned ... " ... 1 don't know if this is a smoke
screen. I don't know what it is. It's very strange. Until- until that situation works its way
out, I'm not going to worry about it." (December 22, 2008, Hearing Transcript pg. 15, In.
10-16, Exhibit A-2, to Exhibit A, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009.)
Nevertheless, in oral ruling that he never followed up with a written order, Judge Davis
set the trial date for the "new case" as October 26, 2009. Judge Davis retired from the
bench nine days later on December 31, 2008.
2.17 At a hearing held on February 11, 2009, Judge Melody M. Wilkinson, who
replaced Judge Davis as the judge of the 1 th District Court, granted Queenan's motion
to withdraw as Plaintiff's attorney at the beginning of the hearing, and signed an agreed
scheduling order that was based upon Judge Davis' December 22, 2008, verbal ruling
setting the trail date for October 26,2009.
2.18 Although Judge Wilkinson had language included in the agreed
scheduling order that delayed the defendants barraging Plaintiff with discovery requests
until March 13, 2009, to give Parsons an opportunity to retain attorneys to handle his
complex case, Parsons knew from his seventeen years of experience hiring attorneys in
Texas that the month-long delay would not be sufficient time to interview and educate
prospective attorneys about the complex case one-on-one, and to conduct a conflict of
interest investigation on any attorneys who showed interest in taking on the complex
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 9 of 20
case against the celebrity attorneys at the Baron Defendants and the Turley Defendants
alleging that these famous attorneys had conspired to defraud their clients by intentional
breaches of the fiduciary duties that they owed their clients. Consequently, Parsons
developed a web site to provide interested attorneys with enough information about the
case for them to make an informed decision on their interest in the case and an
informed determination of any potential conflicts of interest that Parsons stated he
wanted to be advised about before Parsons would hire them. Although Parsons has
spent thousands of dollars each month to advertise his attorney-solicitation website in
print and online media throughout the United States, the only attorneys who have
showed any interest in taking on this complex case have conflicts of interest that
prohibit them from being zealous advocates for Plaintiffs claims.
2.19 In April 2009, Parsons obtained a copy of Judge Davis' 2008 Personal
Financial Statement from the Texas Ethics Commission ("TEC") (Exhibit 6, to Exhibit
A-1, to Exhibit A, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009.) Judge Davis'
2008 Personal Financial Statement revealed that Judge Davis had filed a sworn
declaration that section Part 7B pertaining to his "Interests in Business Entities" was
"NOT APPLICABLE" to him. The timing and circumstances of Judge Davis' formation of
a business entity engaged in business activities Judge Davis has no prior training or
experience; Judge Davis' contemporaneously rulings in this case, based upon fictitious
pleadings filed by Joseph W. Spence ("Spence") and R. H. Wallace ("Wallace"),
attorneys currently associated with Shannon, Gracey, Ratliff & Miller, L.L.P. ("SGR&M");
and, Judge Davis' lying in an affidavit about his interest in the company he owns. Based
upon the discoveries made in his investigation of Judge Davis, Parsons filed a sworn
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 10 of 20
complaint on June 3,2009, with the TEC. (Exhibit A-1, to Exhibit A, Affidavit of Roger K.
Parsons - September 2, 2009.)2
2.20 Beginning on April 6, 2009, with the DuPont/Conoco Defendants' motion
to dismiss, and through to August 28, 2009, the deadline under the current scheduling
order for filing pretrial motions, with the DuPont/Conoco Defendants' and the Greenberg
Defendants' motions for summary judgment, Parsons has been barraged by motions to
dismiss and motions for summary judgment. Within six months of signing the scheduling
order on February 11, 2009, that were based upon Judge Davis' December 22, 2008,
oral trial setting for October 26,2009, Judge Wilkinson has:
a. denied Plaintiff's motion for continuance of hearings on Defendants'
motions for summary judgment (July 23, 2009);
b. denied Plaintiff's motion for leave of court to amend petition (July 24,
2009) (Exhibit A-10-a and Exhibit 10-b, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons -
September 2, 2009);
c. granted the DuPont/Conoco Defendants' motion to dismiss (July 24,
2009);
d. granted the Baron Defendants' motions for summary judgment (July 24,
2009);
e. granted the Greenberg Defendants' motions for summary judgment (July
24,2009);
f. granted the Motsenbocker Defendants' motions for summary judgment
(July 24, 2009); and
g. granted the Turley Defendants' motions for summary judgment (August
17,2009).
2 Exhibit A-1, to Exhibit A, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009, was made
part of the record in this case as Exhibit A-23, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - August 11, 2009,
attached as Exhibit A, Plaintiff's Amended Response to the Turley Defendants' Motions for
Summary Judgment and No Evidence Summary Judgment that is attached to Plaintiff's Motion
for Leave of Court to File Plaintiff's Amended Response to the Turley Defendants' Motions for
Summary Judgment and No Evidence Summary Judgment filed on August 11, 2009.
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 11 of20
2.21 In his pleadings and oral arguments in response to Defendants' motions
for summary judgment and motions to dismiss, Parsons has repeatedly point out to the
court that the defendants attorneys had filed fictitious pleadings misrepresenting that the
only damages Plaintiff was seeking were the punitive damages lost only by legal
malpractice by the Turley Defendants, and then lost again only by legal malpractice by
the Greenberg Defendants and the Motsenbocker Defendants. Parsons has repeatedly
directed the courts attention to Plaintiffs Third Amended Petition that clearly articulates
that Plaintiffs damages claims include lost compensatory damages from two underlying
fraud cases, and clearly articulates that Plaintiffs liability claims in this case arise from
fraud and intentional breaches of the fiduciary duties that the Baron Defendants, the
Greenberg Defendants and the Motsenbocker Defendants owed to Plaintiff. However,
the court appears to have turned a blind-eye to Parsons' written and oral pleadings.
Facts Relating to Grounds for Disqualifying Judge Melody M. Wilkinson
2.22 On August 18, 2009, Parsons began an investigation into the background
and financial dealings of Judge Wilkinson. Parsons investigation included a reviewing
information in the 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2007 and 2008 Personal Financial
Statements Judge Wilkinson filed with the TEe; information on federal asbestos cases
for which Judge Wilkinson continues to act as defense counsel of record in
Pennsylvania while simultaneously sitting in judgment over claims of breach of fiduciary
duty and fraud against B&B and B&B corporate officers arising from allegations of
claims-trading between asbestos plaintiffs' and asbestos defendants' attorneys;
information on federal cases for which the Motsenbocker Defendants attorneys at
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 12 of 20
SGR&M have common interests with Judge Wilkinson; and information from Tarrant
County District Clerk records.
2.23 Parsons' review of the 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 Personal Financial
Statements Judge Wilkinson filed with the TEC (Respectively, Exhibit A-3-a, A-3-b, A-3-
c and A-3-d, to Exhibit A, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009) found that
Judge Wilkinson was a partner in Cantey & Hanger, L.L.P. ("C&H") between 1998 and
2001 inclusive. Parsons' search of Tarrant County District Clerk records showed that
Judge Wilkinson remained at C&H until at least January 6, 2004. (Exhibit A-4, Affidavit
of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009).
2.24 On February 9, 2007, C&H was sued by the trustee for the bankrupt Forth
Worth Osteopathic Hospital, Inc. ("FWOH") (Exhibit A-5-a and Exhibit A-5-b, Affidavit of
Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009) Adversary Proceeding # 07-04015 in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division)
alleging breach of fiduciary duty, assisting or encouraging breaches of fiduciary duty,
unjust enrichment, conspiracy, trust fund liability and professional negligence by C&H
between 1999 and 2004, while C&H was employed as general corporate counsel for
FWOH, and while Judge Wilkinson shared in the C&W partnership profits.
2.25 On March 29, 2007, while serving simultaneously as counsel of record for
the Motsenbocker Defendants and for C&H, SGR&M attorney Wallace countersued the
FWOH bankruptcy trustee in Adams, et a/. v. Brown, Case No. 4:07-cv-00206-Y in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division.
(Exhibit A-6, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009)
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
JUDGE FRED W. DAVIS AND MELODY M. WILKINSON - Page 13 of 20
2.26 SGR&M generally, and Wallace specifically, represent Judge Wilkinson's
pecuniary and personal financial interests in defeating a pending lawsuit that seeks to
recover C&H partnership distributions that unjustly enriched Judge Wilkinson and other
C&H partners, while C&H allegedly breached fiduciary duties owed to FWOH, assisted
or encouraged breaches of fiduciary duties that FWOH directors owed to FWOH, was
unjustly enriched by legal fees paid by FWOH, conspired with FWOH directors in
entrenchment and self-dealing to delay seeking bankruptcy protection that could have
saved FWOH from total ruin. Wallace and Judge Wilkinson know that in the FWOH
lawsuit Wallace is defending Judge Wilkinson's pecuniary and personal interests
against many of the same claims that Wallace is defending against in this lawsuit.
2.27 By March 10, 2004, Judge Wilkinson was entering appearances as
counsel for defendant A. W. Chesterton Company in many asbestos cases in both
federal and state courts. (Exhibit A-7-a, Exhibit A-7-b, Exhibit 7-c and Exhibit 7-d,
Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009) However, at this time, Judge
Wilkinson was employed as "Managing Attorney -- Fort Worth office" of the large
Boston, Massachusetts firm Cooley Manion Jones, L.L.P. ("CMJ,,).3 (Exhibit 3-e and
Exhibit 7 -f, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009)
2.28 No later than December 28, 2007, Judge Wilkinson became opposing
counsel in asbestos litigation brought by the Baron Defendants in Case No. 4:07-cv-
04569 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston
Division, that was eventually transferred to Case No. 2:08-cv-73898-ER in the United
3 Because Judge Wilkinson did not file Personal Financial Statements with the TEC for
the years 2002 through 2006, inclusive, it is unknown if she held the title "Managing Attorney-
Fort Worth office" at CMJ between 2002 and 2006, as she later reported in her 2007 and 2008
Personal Financial Statements filed with the TEe.

States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Division.
(Exhibit A-8-a and Exhibit A-8-b, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons - September 2, 2009) In
this case and numerous others Judge Wilkinson remains to this day counsel of record
for A. W. Chesterton Company.4
2.29 On July 30, 2009, shortly after she granted the Baron Defendants motions
for summary judgment on July 24, 2009, Judge Wilkinson withdrew as counsel of record
for A. W. Chesterton Company in a pending case (Case No. 2-09-cv-71554-ER in
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
Division). However, Judge Wilkinson remains as counsel for A. W. Chesterton in many
other asbestos cases still pending in Pennsylvania federal courts, including the one in
which she will now be in a position to negotiate a favorable settlement agreement with
the Baron Defendants.

(Exhibit A-9-a and Exhibit A-9-b, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons-
September 2, 2009)
5 The attorney who substituted for Judge Wilkinson is a partner in Naman, Howell, Smith
& Lee, L.L.P. ("NHS&L"), the firm that Judge Wilkinson reports in her 2008 Personal Financial
Statement employed her in the same capacity CMJ had employed her, "Managing Attorney -
Fort Worth office." Exhibit A-9-a, shows that Judge Wilkinson used as a contact address in her
capacity as a CMJ employee the same address and telephone number (100 East 15
th
Street,
Suite 320, Fort Worth, Texas 76102-6565,817.870.1996), that listed for the Fort Worth offices
of NHS&L. (See http://www.namanhowell.com/fortworth.htm) Obviously, NHS&L was acting as
a front for a temporary CMJ operation in Texas that, according to records maintained by the
Texas Secretary of State, did not renew its registration as a limited liability partnership in 2008.
Apparently Judge Wilkinson and NHS&L represent A. W. Chesterton Company in defending the
numerous asbestos cases in Pennsylvania for which she remains counsel of record, while
simultaneously serving as a judge on a case against the Baron Defendants alleging conspiracy
to defraud, breaching fiduciary duties, and aiding and abetting the breaching of fiduciary duties
against clients of the Baron Defendants' captive/corporate counsels, the Greenberg Defendants
and the Motsenbocker Defendants.

ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES
3.01 Plaintiff incorporates mI 2.01-2.29 here, as if fully stated at length herein.
3.02 Under Texas Constitution article 5, section 11, a judge is disqualified from
sitting in judgment when the case is one in which the judge "may be interested." Tex.
Const. art. 5, 11; see Cameron v. Greenhill, 582 S.W.2d 775, 776 (Tex. 1979). The
interest must be a direct pecuniary or personal interest in the result of the case. See
Cameron, 582 S.W.2d at 776. Once an interest is established, the judge is disqualified

5, section 11, Judge Davis and Judge \Mlkinson are disqualified from sitting in
judgment
in this case.
5.02 The facts that are supported by the evidence presented herein and in
Plaintiffs Motion to Disqualify Judge Fred W. Davis and Judge Melody M. Wlkinson
shows that Judge Davis and Judge \Mlkinson know that, individually or as a fiduciary,
they have an interest in the subject matter in controversy in this case. Gonsequently,
pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 18b(1), Judge Davis and Judge Wilkinson are
disqualified from sitting in
judgment
in this case.
5.03 Consequently, the Turley Defendants' statements in opposition to
Plaintiffs Motion mischaracterize the basis for Plaintiffs Motion to DisqualifiT and the
Turley Defendants' request for sanctions should be denied.
vl.
PRAYER
For these reasons, Plaintiff asks the court, after a hearing, to deny the Turley
Defendants' request for sanctions, and for all relief, at law or in equity to which he may
be entitled.

Rq Cause No. 017-217971-06; Roger K. Pansons, et al. v. Robert M. Greenberg, et il.;
In the 17th District Court of Tarrant County, Texas
Dear Judge Walker:
I appreciated your kind consideration of Plaintiff's Motion to Disqualify Judge Fred W. Davis
and Melody M. Wilkinson last Friday afternoon. After reviewing my notes from the hearing, I
became aware of at least one mistake I made. At the beginning of the hearing, the Court stated
that my motion to recuse Judge Davis was mute because Judge Davis had retired. Although,
the Court acknowledge later in the hearing that my motion was to disquality and rather than
recuse Judge Davis, I understood the Court's earlier statement to be a ruling against my
motion to disqualify Judge Davis based upon the Court's review of my motion and my
affidavit, Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons
--
September 2,20O9, and the exhibits attached thereto.
Consequently when the Court gave me an opportunity to offer evidence for my motion, I did
not proffer Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 to Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons
--
September 2,2OAg,
because I wanted to comply with what I believed was with Court's prior ruling.
Now it occurs to me that I should have introduced Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons
--
September
2, 2009, and Affidavit of Roger K. Parsons
--
September 16, 2009, and all exhibits attached
thereto, including Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2. I should have allowed the Court to rule on this
evidence in light of the Court's understanding that my motion was to disqualify Judge Davis
rather than to recuse him. To correct my mistake, I have enclosed Plaintiff's Motion to
Supplement Evidence to Hearing on Plaintiff's Motion to Disqualify Judge Fred W. Davis and
Melody M. Wilkinson, along with proposed orders granting the motion and setting a hearing on
the motion, if the Court feels that a hearing is necessary.
By copy of this letter, I have notified all of the attorneys present at the hearing and all the
attorneys of record in this cause.
Sincerely,
--\
