Re: A. D. Coleman v. Paul Kopeikin Gallery

Dear Ms. Davis:

This office represents Paul Kopeikin and the Paul Kopeikin Gallery (hereinafter collectively the "Gallery") in regards to the dispute between Mr. A. D. Coleman and the Gallery regarding the Gallery's webite [sic], and with regards to the formal complaint filed by Mr. Coleman with AIPAD and with the National Writers Union. Please direct any future correspondence or communication in this matter to my attention.

Enclosed is a copy of a letter sent to Robert Klein, President of AIPAD, regarding this matter. The letter is self-explanatory.

Mr. Kopeikin disputes Mr. Coleman's invoice for his alleged violation of Mr. Coleman's copyright, and Mr. Kopeikin intends to take no further action with regards to Mr. Coleman at this time. Whether or not Mr. Coleman wishes to push this matter is up to him.

Very truly yours,
/s/ Marc J. Kopeikin, Esq.
