All,
My schedule is pretty open for the next few months and I have no leave planned until Christmas time. I'll let all of you hash out new dates as necessary. Keep me appraised of what the new timeline will be, if any.

Maj Hatch,

Plan on a sizeable defense continuance in this case.  GySgt Bell has retained the law firm of Puckett and Faraj and they are the firm on the Wuterich case.

Major Marshall

Gentlemen,
I'm good with either of those days. 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

Maj Keske,

Attached please find an Art 32 letter appointing you as IO ICO U.S. v. GySgt Marcus Bell.  The letter requires that you set a date NLT 13 Oct.  Request that we set the initial date as either 12 or 13 October.

Maj Hatch
