The only order entered lately is an order directing Glisson to comply with Local Rule 7.1-1. That rule is designed to give judges an opportunity to recuse themselves (get out of the suit) if they have a conflict of interest because of the persons disclosed who have "a direct economic interest" in the suit.
If the "attorney helping" Glisson (assuming there even is one) is working for free (no fee), that person has no direct economic interest in the suit.
In the order that was entered, there is no mention of any "attorney helping."
Here's the recital before the court says he must comply:
"The Answer (#9) in this matter was filed March 12, 2009. LR 7.1-1 requires
that counsel for private parties shall, upon entering a case, file a certificate as to interested parties,
listing all persons, firms, partnerships or corporations, known to have an interest in the outcome of the
case, including the names of all parent subsidiary, affiliate and/or insider of the named non-individual
parties. If there are no known interested parties, other than those participating in the case, a statement
to that effect must be filed. To date, Defendant has failed to comply."
Glisson is representing himself. Thus, he is acting as counsel and must comply with the local rule. Glisson will probably state that there are no interested parties that could cause a hidden conflict for the judge and that will be the end of it. ... eom
