One of their litigators--Steve Smith-- is representing Duke International in
a recently filed arbitration against ENA in which Duke seeks to cancel an LNG
contract with ENA that is valued at $170 million. As you will recall, this
representation was the reason that we did not meet with O'Melveny when we
were in CA last month.

Jim - Happy New Year! While I am no longer on the legal side of the fence, I
want to pass on to you my strong recommendation for you to consider using
O'Melveny & Myers, in particular for California litigation, but perhaps in
other areas. Over the past 2 years, we used O'Melveny in connection with the
wind cos dispute with Florida Power & Light, and they did a great job.
O'Melveny is one of the 2 or 3 largest firms in California and probably one
of its oldest and finest. One of their litigation partners (and good
personal friend of mine) is named Brian Curry, and if you have any interest
in meeting these guys, they would very much like the chance to meet you.
Please let me know if there might be any interest. I hope all is well with
you and your family. Best regards. Adam
