DEFAMATORY (Part IV)
CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, Microsoft respectfully requests that this Court revoke its
Order referring the case to a special master both because the reference is improper
under Rule 53(b) and Article III and because Professor Lessig should be disqualified
under 28 U.S.C. 455. In addition, Microsoft respectfully requests that the Court stay
all further proceedings before Professor Lessig until Microsoft's objections to the scope
of the reference and bias on the part of Professor Lessig are resolved, by this Court
and, if necessary, by the Court of Appeals.
Dated: New York, New York

Respectfully submitted,
