Rachel M. Lust, an attorney duly admitted to practice law before the courts of the State of

motion in this Court to dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction over
Defendant pursuant to CPLR § 3211(a)(8).
4. A true and correct copy of the Settlement Agreement between Altagracia B. Pierre-
Outerbridge, as administrator of the Estate of Lindrick Arthur Outerbridge and as Guardian
of the Property of the Property of Andrick A. Outerbridge, Jennie Davenport a/k/a Jennie
Outerbridge executed on or about September 1, 2022 is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
5. Plaintiff Altagracia B. Pierre-Outerbridge, as administrator of the Estate of Lindrick Arthur
Outerbridge a/k/a Lindrick Outerbridge (“Plaintiff”) has refused on countless occasions to
discontinue the above referenced action in direct contravention of the Settlement
Agreement.
6. Specifically, with regard to this action, the Settlement Agreement states:
16. Dismissal of All Actions Against Davenport and all Davenport Released
Parties: Outerbridge swears and affirms under penalty of perjury that she is not
presently aware of any other actions brought by her or anyone within her control
except for those listed below. Based on this material representation, Outerbridge
and Davenport enter into the herein Agreement. The actions commenced by
Outerbridge, APO Administrator and/or APO Guardian shall be discontinued as
follows:
c. The Ejectment Action: The Ejectment Action shall be discontinued with
prejudice and all motions shall be withdrawn upon the filing of a Stipulation
of Discontinuance. Stipulation shall simply say that matter is discontinued.
(emphasis supplied)
7. Because of Plaintiff’s unreasonable refusal to discontinue the action, in direct contradiction
to the Settlement Agreement, DNZ has continued to represent Defendant and has attempted
to appease Plaintiff in her attempts to obtain approval from the Surrogates Court, which
approval was never contemplated in the Settlement Agreement.

8. Specifically, Defendant has prepared stipulation of discontinuances for Plaintiff to sign and
made countless calls to try and persuade Plaintiff to execute the stipulation to discontinue
this action.
9. However, as a result of the Surrogates Court order, DNZ has determined that enough is
enough.
10. We have once again attempted to get Plaintiff to sign a stipulation of discontinuance;
however, again, she has refused. It is curious because, not only is it mandated int eh
Settlement Agreement but Plaintiff will not be able to continue her efforts without
cooperation from Defendant who will be unrepresented and not be subject to the
jurisdiction New York Courts. One would think that Plaintiff would have been more
cooperative.
11. DNZ has been working without payment free since January, 2022.
12. To date, the last payment that DNZ has received as counsel was on January 12, 2022.
Additionally, DNZ has incurred a large balance of $9,993.59 due to Plaintiff’s refusal to
discontinue these two supreme court actions.
13. Our decision to be relieved as attorneys is consistent with all ethical considerations,
pursuant to which all attorneys must comport themselves.
14. No prior application has been made to this or any other court for the relief requested herein;
however, similar order to show cause are being filed simultaneously in the matter of
