Just let me know when you want to come to my office and LtCol Sullivan can get permission from the chief of staff, or we can meet at a restaurant out in town. -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Hawk [mailto:mrhawk33@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 6:22 To: Hur Capt Christian P Subject: Fwd: RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY OF CMC Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: From: Haytham Faraj <haytham@puckettfaraj.com> Date: February 10, 2011 5:27:08 AM PST To: "'Joshua Hawk'" <mrhawk33@gmail.com> Subject: RE: RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY OF CMC I found out 5 days ago that this is not an IG investigation but a mere inquiry. IG investigations are far more formal. That means to me that they didn't take this seriously. I will be back in San Diego in 10 days and I'll be there for 2 week. If you're in the area I recommend we meet in Capt Hur's office. The only other thing to be done at this point is to file a federal law suit against Smith.

I am the Head of the Military Justice Branch, Judge Advocate Division, Headquarters Marine Corps. I have read the e-mail you sent to General Amos. It appears from your e-mail you contacted the Commandant inquiring about the status of your appeal of your special court-martial conviction. Based upon your inquiry, I contacted the Staff Judge Advocate, Marine Corps Installations West (SJA, MCI-W) for a status update on your case. The SJA, MCI-W has been tasked with preparing the endorsement of the Commanding General, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego (MCRD) for your appeal. It is my understanding you submitted, via your counsel, an appeal of your special court-martial conviction pursuant to Article 69b of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The procedures for routing and handling such appeals is outlined in Section 0162 of the Manual of the Judge Advocate General (JAGMAN). It is my understanding you chose to submit your appeal via your chain of command at the time of the court-martial. As a result, the Commanding General of that command is required to comment on the grounds for relief asserted in the appeal and provide an opinion on its merits. Based upon my discussion with the SJA, MCI-W, an inquiry is currently in progress into your allegations of undue command influence. Your appeal will not be forwarded until this inquiry is completed. Once the Commanding General, MCRD, signs his endorsement the appeal will be forwarded to Code 20, Office of the Judge Advocate General for final decision. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. V/R LtCol Leon J. Francis Head, Military Justice Branch Judge Advocate Division Headquarters Marine Corps (703)614-4250
