________________________________
This order may seem routine.  The cultists got
to Tom's lawyers.  They WANT him to proceed
pro se and fail on some "technical" procedural
rule absent of merits and facts. The added twist
is a separate criminal fugitive of justice charge
will put him on the run and in jail so even if tried
file a brief pro se, he couldn't!!  They will NOT let any outside
(out-of-state) counsel enter on
his behalf.   This is what is called blatant
HYPER-RAILROADING!  Btw, Mobley & Lloyd's
motion to withdraw was based on Padgett's low income ability to pay
their fees.
