               1  A dispute arose between Mr. Sullivan and Messrs. Tarro and          
          Valletta (the attorneys involved in the personal injury suit) as to         
          whether the attorney's fees should be 33-1/3 percent or 40 percent          
          of the judgment award.                                                      
               2  Mr. DiPippo represented Mrs. Sullivan, and Mr. Dailey               
          represented Mr. Sullivan in their divorce proceeding.                       
               3  Continental's check was in the amount of $1,248,778.12.             
          The record does not explain the discrepancy.                                
          On November 14, 1989, the family court issued an order which, in            
          relevant part, provided:

               Check and to permit the following disbursements                        
               therefrom:                                                             
                    a.   A one-third contingent fee of the gross                      
                    amount of the Check to Attorneys Thomas Tarro,                    
                    III, and David Valletta;                                          
                    b.   Payment of the expenses incurred in

                    Food Corp., copies of which are attached to                       
                    the Motion as Exhibits E and F with the

                    incurred in the appeal of the matter of South                     
                    Isle Food Corp.;                                                  
                    c.   Payment of a Worker's Compensation lien
