RE: Update on UCI Motion

[Haytham Faraj <haytham@puckettfaraj.com>]

Your honor,
In light of your email, I feel it necessary to clear up some
misunderstandings.  When I appeared in 39a's for both Vega and Brito, I
informed the trial judges that Wuterich was scheduled for Nov 2.  I think
one of those cases was already scheduled for that period anyway.  As you
recall Wuterich was supposed to go in September so November was open to
schedule cases.  The trial judges were also aware of our Hutchins motions in
October.  They, therefore, placed the cases on the docket with the
understanding that those cases would be moved if Wuterich went as scheduled.
In response to inquiries regarding my availability next week, trial counsel
in those cases have been informed that those cases would have to be moved
because Wuterich takes precedence.  I didn't schedule those cases.  I merely
agreed with the military judge's recommendation that the cases be double
docketed in the remote possibility that Wuterich moves.    

Vr,
Haytham Faraj

Counsel,

Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law are not official until they are read
into the record of trial, and can further be added to / changed at any time
prior to authentication for accuracy.  However, for your planning purposes,
and in light of the Stay filed by the defense, I am attaching a "rough" of
my ruling for your assistance.  I anticipate going to trial next Tuesday,
the 2nd of November.  I expect all parties to be there unless the Stay that
has been granted. 

Major Gannon, please set up an 802 for this case for.  I understand from
Judge Rubin that Mr. Faraj has scheduled Brito and Vega to go next week.  I
would like to know why.

R,
