âIf there was any miscommunication, I wasnât aware of it,â Lizama added.
On Tuesday, he filed a motion to withdraw from representing former Imperial Pacific International Holdings chair Cui Li Jie in the lawsuit of seven construction workers over labor abuse and human trafficking allegations. Â
Cui is a third-party witness in the lawsuit of the seven workers against IPI and its former contractor and subcontractor, MCC International and Gold Mantis Construction Decoration, both of which have settled with the plaintiffs.
She recently told the District Court for the NMI that she was not satisfied with the representation of Lizama and had asked the court for additional time to look for a âcompetent attorney.â
