Dave,

Here is the response I just received from StairMaster/Nautilus's current counsel, indicate they believe it would be a conflict of interest for any attorney at SeedIP to assist you in this matter.  With this response, I think it is best for you to use other counsel.

Bill:

Nautilus believes it would be inappropriate for you or your firm to represent Mr. Allen concerning his allegations with respect to StairMaster/Nautilus.  If you have any questions, please give me a call.  Otherwise, please advise Mr. Allen of the situation and have his counsel on this matter give me a call.

Regards,

Greg
