Neal,
Have Russ follow up with you. We had a slew released at IRO
hearings the past month, so that's likely the case. I will pass
along your offer. I have 5 down there right now, so I assume you'd
like me to pass that along to all of them?

Hey, Chris. Thanks for the reply. Perhaps there just hasn't been
an RLS to the LSSS yet. His fiancee was certain that he had been in
the brig and the Capt Shinn had gotten him out at his IRO hearing.
Can you check with him? I sent him a separate email yesterday and
received no reply. May have been in court. Just need to link up
with him and sort out this case. I've been hired to work a deal
from here - SILT or SCM/Board waiver, whatever is required. I'm
sure he'll get to it when he can. Have a safe trip to Hawaii. I
was there just last month for a change of command/retirement
ceremony for a close friend. Love it. Stayed a week. Let me know
if your client would like a free phone consultation with us.
S/f,
Neal

Neal,
Good to hear from you. Things are great, and busier than I ever
imagined. I am constantly on the road to Hawaii and Iwakuni --
leaving again in the am for a 32 in Hawaii. We have some
significant cases going on and I just have no experienced counsel in
the region. One in particular is a new niche in child rape and
sodomy. Disturbing, but quite interesting. It would take to long
to write it in an email, so we'll have to catch up on the phone.
Expanding again -- great news! Wow!! You have skyrocketed since
you left active duty.
Laura is deployed and I think it will be a great opportunity for
her. She needed to expand her horizons and will be a better
attorney for it. The new SDC is Capt Russ Shinn (excellent
litigator), but the OIC brought in a Major for 3 months. He just
returned from an IA and no one will take him. He's been here for 5
years and been sent packing from almost every job he's had. I think
he started on the wrong foot as a FLEP by not passing the bar until
the fifth time. I am limiting what he can do, but believe he should
get a clean slate and far chance to run the shop while he's here.
Much more to discuss there, but I'll save you the pain.
Neither the government nor the defense in Okinawa shows Thompson an
any report. The brig doesn't have him listed either. I did not
verify with the brig, but that's what the RDC chief reports. Is he
in Oki or Iwakuni. Capt Shinn's email is scott.shinn@usmc.mil or
you can reach my clerk, Cpl Martin, at james.a.martin5@usmc.mil.
I was great to hear from you. Let me know when I can assist.
v/r Chris

Chris,
How are things? I represent a young PFC in the brig there for UA.
Can you direct me to his detailed counsel?
Let me know how you're doing. Would love to catch up. The firm is
expanding. Adding two new lawyers. One this week and another in
May. Bet you guys miss Capt Bruzzese. Know she's TAD to Gitmo.
Who is the SDC now? How are you liking Judge Jones?
