Re: Sheff, et al. v. 0O’Neill, et al. 

Dear Judge Hammer: 

The plaintiffs are writing to request oral argument in this case 

during the month of April. As you know, we completed the trial in 

early 1993 and post-trial brief were submitted by August. Supplemental 

briefs were submitted to you in January of this year after certain 

issues were raised relating to the new legislation on diversity. 

our clients as well as many members of the Hartford community 

have been anxiously awaiting the date for the oral argument so the case 

will be completed and ready for a decision. 

We have contacted Assistant Attorney General John Whelan and both 

parties are available for a status conference this week. Attorney 

Whelan is not available tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday afternoon, but 

the rest of the week is open for both sides. On the assumption that 

Your Honor would not want the oral argument to be held before the end 

of April, I have conferred with Attorney Whelan and both sides would be 

available for oral argument at any time during that week except for 

Monday, April 25. 

I also will have personal problems if the argument is not held 

this month. I have a number of appellate arguments which may be 

scheduled for early May. In addition, my family and I have a long 

scheduled trip to Prague, and we are leaving on May 15. Finally, my 

partner Susan Cormier is almost nine months pregnant. She will shortly 

be taking a maternity leave, during which time I will be handling many 

of her files. 

Thank you for your consideration. 

Very truly yours, 

Wao Ms 
Wesley W. Horton
