RE: Lawfulness of a General Order



He gave the Government the continuance.  It’s David Jones.  I feel like he will not rule for us on the Hutchins motion despite the strength of the issue.  I feel like I need to tighten up the facts more.  I’ll call you late next week to share some ideas with you if you don’t mind making some time for us.  Your advice about not painting the judge into a dismissal only corner was very important.  That allows him to punt it to the Government for a fix.

Thanks for the heads up!

 

How did the military judge rule?  (And who was the military judge?)

Gentlemen,

Glad to see Col Sullivan answered the question about general order signatory.  Yancey Ellis argued this issue (as a DC) a couple of weeks ago regarding the lawfulness of a general order prohibiting spice use.  I have his civilian contact info if you need it.  I would hit him up about his approach.

Capt Slabbekorn

Thank you. Didn't you hear about the government's request for a continuance of 6 weeks?

Any advice or recommendations you have are appreciated.
