In Boston University case, students file supplemental papers indicating Carlos Linares is not admitted to the bar in DC or in MA

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

In Arista v. Does 1-21 (renamed by the Court as "London-Sire v. Doe 1"), where "John Doe" Boston University students have moved to strike the Carlos Linares declaration based upon the illegal use of unlicensed investigators, the students have submitted -- in response to the RIAA's claim that Mr. Linares hired MediaSentry and in doing so he was acting as the record companies' lawyer -- supplemental memoranda indicating that Mr. Linares

-is not admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia, where he maintains his office, or

-in Massachusetts, where the investigation was.
