I imagine I am the last to know CAAF ruled on Hutchins?  Just got out of court.

Neal,

 

Awesome!  Good luck on getting them to agree to hearing the issue now vice on ex writ.  If anyone can pull this off, it's Dwight Sullivan.

 

Big score with having Radar there.  She's a force multiplier.  If I was out on my own, I would have hired her in a heartbeat.

 

Been reading some about Haytham's federal case - sounds like he's giving the govt hell.  You gotta love it!  Stickin' it to the man in a big way.

 

V/R

Colby

Colby,

FYI.  We're about to be on hold again in Wuterich.  CAAF is serious about reviewing our Hutchins issue as an ex writ.  Stand by for updates.

Sean Sullivan wants two days to reply to our request.  But Dwight Sullivan believes that either Jones grants our continuance request or CAAF would certainly issue a stay until they can review and rule.

Hope you're doing well.  Marcy and I are seriously considering becoming "Texans" some day.

BTW, Bethany started work for Puckett and Faraj on 3 Jan as an office manager.  She's terrific!

Your honor,

Attached is the briefing order just issued by CAAF.  You'll note the schedule extends out 35 days from today (11 Jan 2011).  Col Sullivan, Maj Sripnyo, Mr. Faraj and I will now be turning to on the briefs ordered by CAAF.  CAAF's intent to resolve this matter by way of the Extraordinary Writ process, and therefore pretrial, is clear.  We have no way of knowing whether oral argument may be request or granted or how long CAAF will take to rule after the conclusion of those 35 days.    

The defense therefore is compelled to request an indefinite continuance until this issue is finally resolved through the Extraordinary Writ process.
