RE: Lopez: Motions Deadline



Sir,

Not to be rude or combative, but the position of the government is that we do not agree to moving the trial milestones, and this will require a ruling from the military judge.

Very Respectfully,
Capt Peter C. Combe II
Trial Counsel
Office of the SJA, MCB Quantico
3250 Catlin Ave.
Quantico, VA 22134 

Comm: (703) 784-0590  DSN: 278
Fax: (703) 784-0035  DSN: 278

Both Capt white and I are in hearings or trial all this week. We all know the judge will grant our request because we have a good faith basis for our request. It doesn't make any sense to have to do this by motion if can agree.
