CERTIORARI DENIED

96-1578	PHILLIPS, THOMAS, ET AL. V. WASHINGTON LEGAL FOUNDATION

The order granting the petition for a writ of

certiorari is amended as follows:

The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted limited

to the following question: Is interest earned on client

trust funds held by lawyers in IOLTA accounts a property

interest of the client or lawyer, cognizable under the

Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, despite

the fundamental precept of IOLTA that such funds, absent

the IOLTA program, could earn interest of the client or

lawyer?
