In re PayPal Litigation, Case No. CV-02-1227-JF (PVT).

Dear Lawyers,

This is a request for exclusion from the case listed above.

While I appreciate that there are those willing to take on the evil corporations for us little guys, I don't appreciate that I am automatically included in whatever litigation category I fit into. Nor do I care to receive, at most, a few hundred dollars – as I am not one of the “Dispute Resolution Claimants” – while the claimants' counsel gets in excess of 3.3 million dollars. Lawyers work long, hard hours; I don't dispute this. But compensation in excess of hourly fees is disgusting and bloats our legal system with trivialities.

Have fun in court. :)
