Maj Fitz, The government has to oppose the attached continuance motion; as I stated to Mr. Faraj on the phone a few minutes ago, I detailed myself to this case and I will be TAD on 3 Nov. If you grant the defense continuance request, I CAN detail Capt Douvas to represent the government for the purposes of the 32 on 3 Nov. The government's position is that the defense should eat any and all time after 27 Oct. I have a meeting I need to run to right now at MCRD. The 11th-hour nature of the defense request makes it difficult to respond with much more explanation, but am happy to try a conference call tomorrow. I'll have access to my gmail account the rest of this evening--I have cc-ed that account to this email.

I'll just stand by. I was given the authority to grant continuances so please submit it to me via trial counsel.

In the Ochoa case, the defense told me via email below they will be submitting a continuance, though I have not seen it yet. The government generally will not object to a continuance, granted the defense agrees to excludable delay, and we can all work out the dates.
