Re: Garner v. Memphis Police Department 
Dear Mr. Days:
This is to follow up on my previous letter of September 26, 
1979, requesting Justice Department involvement and partici­
pation in the above-noted case. I am enclosing a memoran­
dum which we recently filed with the court regarding 
the necessity for further hearings and which briefly dis­
cusses some of the issues which we feel are essential to 
the case. It is our belief that both the appearance and 
the technical assistance of the Justice Department will 
be important in obtaining a favorable decision in this 
case.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Sincerely,
] \ . 'J .. r
