All,

Capt Day: no problem.  I do NOT want to interrupt your vacation times if we can avoid it.  And I do understand that it will be difficult to get witnesses there.  We will do the UCI motion another time.  I also found out on Friday, after we met, that the annual, mandatory, Interservice Military Judge's Seminar (IMJS) that I was told would be in January is now scheduled for 1-4 February at Montgomery, Alabama.  That also interrupts our plans.  So, here is what I would suggest:

11 October at 1600 - We still meet, after the Wuterich motions session that day, to discuss production of witnesses for UCI, other motions.

25 - 28 January = UCI and all other motions

1 - 4 February = All Judges at IMJS

7 - 18 February = Trial. 

I understand that after the Wuterich case, the defense counsel is not available until February, that is why I suggest the foregoing.  Hopefully, the defense could go the last week of January.  I also understand that this is quite unusual to schedule a case so far out.  Unfortunately, due to everyone's schedules, the unique issues involved in this case, and the postponement of the Wuterich trial dates into the Wacker original trial dates, I don't see other viable options.  

Please let me know if this is palatable to all parties.  If not, then we need to schedule another 802.  I don't want to wait until 11 October to discuss this and then have the parties schedule more things in the interim.
