O'Quinn, Laminack & Pirtle Announces Update Regarding JAG Media Lawsuit

Business Wire, Oct 12, 2004

HOUSTON -- O'Quinn, Laminack & Pirtle commented today on Judge Gilmore's recent ruling granting the motion to dismiss of various plaintiffs in the lawsuit commenced by JAG Media Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: JAGH) against various brokerage firms, market makers and others in connection with the "naked short selling" of JAG Media's stock.

"We are obviously disappointed with Judge Gilmore's ruling," said Tom Pirtle, a partner at O'Quinn, Laminack & Pirtle. "While this is a setback, we firmly believe JAG Media and its stockholders have been victimized and damaged by the seemingly never ending daisy-chain of failed settlements in the company's stock. We have met with the Company to review Judge Gilmore's ruling and are currently working closely with the Company to determine the best strategy for re-initiating claims against responsible parties in light of the court's ruling," added Pirtle.

"The litigation involving JAG Media is a unique and important litigation that brings into question the fundamental workings of the trade settlement system of the largest and most important financial market in the world", said John O'Quinn, noted trial attorney and founding partner of O'Quinn, Laminack & Pirtle. O'Quinn, Laminack & Pirtle has always prided itself in being at the forefront of such litigations and will not be deterred by this setback, continued O'Quinn.
