Mr. Faraj, Thanks for the email--please confirm you are going to be representing GySgt Bell by filing a notice of appearance (see attached). The Article 32 hearing is currently set for 12 October. The government won't oppose any reasonable continuance requests, assuming that defense agrees to excludable delay. Please provide formal correspondence to that effect. I'll also be on the lookout for your formal 706 board request.

Let's set if for the 12th and if we need to roll into a second day, we'll have the 13th. Start time 0830, uniform desert MARPAT. I'm assuming it will be at your courtroom? Typically I let counsel try to hash out witness/evidence issues before coming to me. If there are any disputes that can't be resolved, let me know as soon as possible. Both sides, please provide me with a witness/evidence list NLT 4 Oct. In order to properly prepare for the investigation, I'd also like to get a copy of any NCIS or other criminal investigation that was done, I can come by next week and pick it up. r/s Maj Keske -----Original Message----- From: Hatch MAJ Douglas C Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 11:41 To: Keske Maj Zenon W Cc: Douvas Capt Alex G Subject: FW: ART 32 LETTER Maj Keske, Attached please find an Art 32 letter appointing you as IO ICO U.S. v.
