                         UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
                           MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA

                             CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT


      As a member of the Bar of the United States District Court for the Middle District
of Pennsylvania, I will strive for the following professional ideal:

1.    The rule of law will govern my entire conduct. I will not violate the law or place myself
      above the law.

2.    I will treat with civility and respect the lawyers, clients, opposing parties, the court and all
      the officials with whom I work. Professional courtesy is compatible with vigorous
      advocacy and zealous representation. Even though antagonism may be expected by
      my client, it is not part of my duty to my client.

3.    I will respect other lawyers' schedules as my own, and will seek agreement on meetings,
      depositions, hearings, and trial dates. A reasonable request for a scheduling
      accommodation should never be unreasonably refused.

4.    Communications are lifelines. I will keep the lines open. Telephone calls and
      correspondence are a two-way channel; I will respond to them promptly.

5.    I will be punctual in appointments, communications and in honoring scheduled
      appearances. Neglect and tardiness are demeaning to others and to the judicial
      system.

6.    I will earnestly attempt to resolve differences through negotiation, expeditiously and
      without needless expense.

7.    Procedural rules are necessary to judicial order and decorum. I will be mindful that
      pleadings, discovery processes and motions cost time and money. I will not use them
      heedlessly. If an adversary is entitled to something, I will provide it without unnecessary
      formalities.

8.    I will not engage in conduct that brings disorder or disruption to the courtroom. I will
      advise my client and witnesses appearing in court of the proper conduct expected and
      required there and, to the best of my ability, prevent my client and witnesses from
      creating disorder or disruption.

9.    Before dates for hearings or trials are set, or if that is not feasible immediately after such
      date has been set, I will attempt to verify the availability of necessary participants and
      witnesses so I can promptly notify the court of any likely problems.

                                                              I agree to subscribe to the above
                                                              Code of Professional Conduct:


                                                              Signature of Petitioner
