Counsel-

Rule 7.14 of the EJC Circuit Rules states that proposed trial dates for
special courts-martial should be within 30 - 45 days of the date of the
docketing request or arraignment, and within 60 - 75 days of the date of the
docketing request or arraignment for general courts-martial.  Exceptions to
this Rule require the prior approval of the Docketing Judge. 

The charges in this case were preferred on 23 SEP 09, referred on 22 DEC 09,
and served on the accused on 7 Jan 10.  I realize Mr. Faraj was not retained
until February and a 706 board was requested and ordered by the Court, but
the report of the board was submitted on 7 APR 10.  Now, we're into mid-May
and the parties request trial dates in late August-early September, almost a
year after preferral, and the requested dates fall well outside Rule 7.14's
dictates.

Before granting the requested dates, we will have a 39(a) session at which
the parties will articulate good cause for docketing the case so far outside
the established time lines per the Circuit Rules.
