Looks like Govt is going to oppose our continuance request.  Should we have
a stay request to CAAF prepared to file in case Jones denies our request?

Your honor,
Attached is the briefing order just issued by CAAF.  You'll note the
schedule extends out 35 days from today (11 Jan 2011).  Col Sullivan, Maj
Sripnyo, Mr. Faraj and I will now be turning to on the briefs ordered by
CAAF.  CAAF's intent to resolve this matter by way of the Extraordinary Writ
process, and therefore pretrial, is clear.  We have no way of knowing
whether oral argument may be request or granted or how long CAAF will take
to rule after the conclusion of those 35 days.    
The defense therefore is compelled to request an indefinite continuance
until this issue is finally resolved through the Extraordinary Writ process.
