RE: ICO US v Wacker

Capt Day,
Those date changes are unacceptable unless the trial ends by Mar 4.  It is
my understanding the Ms. Brooder is already licensed in at least one other
state.  Capt Wacker, on the other hand, is still waiting to receive his
degree and to sit for any Bar.  We are going to object to further delay.

Sincerely,
Haytham Faraj

Gentlemen,

Following up on my conversation earlier with Capt Hur:

Rebecca Barker Abdullah is taking the NY and NJ bar exams on 22-24 Feb 11. I
propose starting trial on 28 Feb 11 vice 24 Feb, in order to avoid any
potential delay in the trial due to her exam and travel. I don't think the
motions session on 22-23 Feb 11 should be affected. Please let me know if
you oppose the change.

Regarding the DNA expert, I contacted Dr. Nora Rudin, who is a consultant in
the bay area. She said that her typical initial contract for a government
case would be 10 hours, after which she would recommend whether to request
additional funding if necessary. I can't speak for the convening authority,
but that does not sound unreasonable to me as long as the request is in
proper form. Her contact info is available at:
