RE: Wofford Alternative Disposition



Haytham:  Thanks -- let me know if there is anything I can do as we go forward, not board related, but health and comfort related for you and your team during the board.

Dear LCDR Clady,
Upon discussions with IC1 Wofford regarding the possibility of a summary
court-martial, it appears that we will not be able to providently plea to
satisfy the command's needs. I will prepare to conduct a Board on November
23 and 24.

Charlie:  Just to make sure we're all on the same page -- the charges were
withdrawn last week on Friday.  We are currently drafting a memo to appoint
a Board for 23 Nov 10.

Lis. 
Thanks for letting me know. In light of the CO's decision, I do not require
a response to my discovery request. You will receive some requests for
discovery regarding the board. Let's please schedule a conference call for
0800 your time on the 25th to coordinate the way ahead. Have a good trip to
DC. 

Best,
