Your Honor, I will be TAD for two weeks starting on 7 Jun, but given the long history of this case, I will make another TC available to conduct the 39a on that date to establish trial milestones. Thank you. R/S, Major Matthew J.

Exceptions to this Rule require the prior approval of the Docketing Judge. The charges in this case were preferred on 23 SEP 09, referred on 22 DEC 09, and served on the accused on 7 Jan 10. I realize Mr. Faraj was not retained until February and a 706 board was requested and ordered by the Court, but the report of the board was submitted on 7 APR 10. Now, we're into mid-May and the parties request trial dates in late August-early September, almost a year after preferral, and the requested dates fall well outside Rule 7.14's dictates. Before granting the requested dates, we will have a 39(a) session at which the parties will articulate good cause for docketing the case so far outside the established time lines per the Circuit Rules.
