Chris,
Unfortunately, I cannot accept that. 

Thank you.  I'll file my motion tomorrow.

Mr. Faraj,
  CG would allow us to join a continuance motion if it was judge alone.
Given the fact that the CG is selecting members, he is not inclined to allow
us to join a motion to continue at this late juncture.  If members were not
a factor, then he would not have issue with the continuance.

Gentlemen,

I am writing to request concurrence for a continuance of the Rowe trial.
The trial is currently scheduled to commence on November 1.  I am requesting
that it be continued until March 5, 2012.  The primary purpose for the
lengthy delay is because I am scheduled to for the U.S. v. Wuterich trial
from January 4 until January 31, 2012.  U.S. v. Wuterich is a case that
resulted from the killings of 24 civilians in the town of Haditha in Iraq on
November 19, 2005.  That case has languished due to lengthy appellate
matters that were recently resolved.  The gravity of the charges in that
case and its age require me to invest substantial time to get ready.  Our
firm has, therefore, set aside the month of December to prepare.  I
previously notified Trial Counsel that I would be agreeable to a date in
November.  I am currently available the week of November 14 and the week of
November 28.  While the November dates I proposed are agreeable, I request
that you keep in mind our request to immunize Mr. Owens and our request for
an expert.  So long as those two matters can be accomplished, I will be
available during the two proposed November dates.  The defense will agree
that the delay will be excludable.

 

Thank you for consideration of my request

 

Vr,

 

Haytham Faraj, Esq.
