Hey partner, What I meant by not cooperating is that he wants to be there
next week and to be involved. I meant that he is reluctant to cooperate
with us by remaining engaged. He thinks I could do it. Although in
theory it could be an issue. Practically speaking, I am a member of the firm
that has now taken on representation. We have a retainer agreement with
Frank that Colby doesn’t have. I see me and him as distinct
issues. Speak to him today if you can and let me know what impression you
have. Don’t share with him the substance of this email. I
think the thing to do is for him to stay home next week. There’s
really nothing for him to do any way since he didn’t write any of these
motions. Haytham Faraj, Esq.

[mailto:neal@puckettfaraj.com] I sent him an email last night, cc:ing you, in which I asked
him NOT to cooperate. How is that inconsistent with his desire NOT to
cooperate? What is best for the case for our client should be our guide.
Dwight Sullivan believes this is a no-shit real issue in our case.
My position is that Colby should stay home next week in order to make
that issue real enough for a chance to win it with Jones. It really is a
moot issue if he's working the case anyway. There would be no showing of
prejudice, which, according to Sullivan, might be the issue that CAAF uses to
reverse the Hutchins ruling. Depending on how Jones handles it, like if
he just shuts it down by denying the motion, then we can decide whether to moot
the issue by inviting his participation in the trial anyway. We can't let
sentimentalities get in the way of the mission. I think we should talk
about it. Like you, I also don't want to burn bridges. Neal A. Puckett, Esq LtCol, USMC (Ret) Puckett &

Colby, Is
not willing to cooperate on this. He fears being recalled to active
duty. I am not sure why that is because such a course of action is
unlikely. But even if they recall him we can always withdraw the motion
which would moot the issue. I am not sure if there’s something else
there. I’d like to know what your position is on this. I feel
strongly about it because I think it’s a valid issue with merit. Haytham Faraj, Esq.
