Mr. Faraj, we cannot agree to such an extension because we do not understand why the paperwork cannot be completed with Mr. Hamama reporting as scheduled. If his primary concern is his ability to sign paperwork,
he could simply grant his wife power-of-attorney to sign the documents for him. In addition, there is no reason to think that mail service, UPS or Fed Ex would not be able to deliver documents to Mr. Hamama in a timely fashion. Have you attempted to contact
the prison in Texas to explain the situation and see if there would be any problems with his mail delivery? We suspect that you would find that the mail delivery would be adequate for his needs. Lastly, we are not at all confident that the paperwork will
be ready for the defendant to sign in the time frame you have given. In our experience, it is not uncommon for real estate transactions to be delayed by banks and we are concerned that this request will simply be followed by additional requests for extensions.

I understand that they have paperwork that must be endorsed by him and his wife once their loan modification is approved. There is a likelihood that it will not be approved. In the event it is approved, they
will have a certain limited period of time to accept the offer or the bank will consider it a rejection. If he were in the San Diego area or somewhere nearby in California, his wife could simply bring it to him. In Texas, it would have be mailed to him and
he will have to complete it and mail it back. That process on its own will obviously delay the response. There will also be a high possibility in the first few weeks that his mail may not get delivered right away because his family may not have the exact
address or due to initial confusion in the prison mail room as often happens when prisoners first report.
Mr. Hamama has prepared himself to report and was preparing his wife in reliance on being assigned to a facility where he might be able to continue to do what is necessary to assist his wife in remaining in their
home. He is resolved to completing his sentence. His overarching concern, however, is the welfare of his wife and family. He was fully prepared to report to a facility reasonably close to home. The order to report to Texas disrupted their preparations.

Mr. Faraj, can you tell me why it would be impossible for him to complete the process from a distance? From: Haytham Faraj [mailto:haytham@puckettfaraj.com]
Mr. Martin, I am writing to seek your concurrence on a motion to allow Mr. Martin to report on November 30 rather than September 29. The reason for the delay is so that he and his wife can complete the home loan modification process so that they do
not lose their home. We anticipated that he would be assigned to a facility near the San Diego which would have enabled his wife to complete it. He was designated to a facility in Texas. That would make it the process all but impossible to complete. Their
bank is telling them it will take 6-8 weeks. Please let me know if you consent. Best, Haytham Faraj, Esq.
