Neal, I agree with you that Muth being unwilling to come back on active duty is not a heck of a lot different than Colby taking a job he had to take that created a conflict. Giving it a good read now. I think we need to send it to Jones and not rely that he has it. File a supplemental brief? Major Meridith L.

How about the fact that it's error for a MJ to allow the case to continue once the ACR has been severed with detailed counsel? He's abating the proceedings even with the understanding the Govt may not be able to solve the problem of getting Muth back "on the defense team." Should we rely on Jones having access to this already? Will he distinguish it because our situation is markedly different? Sanzi did a prejudice analysis. Does that make us dead in the water since H is still on the case and Colby left due to conflict? Again, I'd argue that like Muth taking a civilian job he's unwilling to leave to come back on active duty, Colby took a civilian job that, rather than rendering him unwilling to help, it rendered him conflicted and unable, vice unwilling, to return to active duty and help. On balance, it seems to strengthen rather than weaken our case. Let's all take a good read of the opinion (just completed mine) and recommend whether we should shoot this to Jones (and all parties, of course) as "additional case law" to be considered. Neal A.

Apparently he made it crystal clear that he really DID NOT WANT TO abate, but felt he had to based on current state of the law. Our case is a little different b/c in Holman, Bob Muth never came back into court in civilian attire. Will send along ruling when I get it. R/ Major Meridith L.
