April 2, 1985 Hon. Emmett Cox, Judge United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama Federal Building II3 St. Joseph Street I'lobile, Alabama 36652 Hon. Patrick H. Sims, Flagistrate Southern District of Alabama 435 United States Courthouse l'lobi1e, Alabama 36602 RE: United States v. Turner, Hogue and Turner, Dear Judge Cox and Judge Sims: By order of March 29,1985, Judge Cox asked Mr. Hogue to notify the Court whether he intends to adopt the motions filed on his behalf by his former counsel. By order of the same date, Judge Sims gave the Government until April 12, 1985 to respond to cerLain portions of a previously filed Motion for Discovery with regard to certain "selective prosecution" matters. Because these matters are related, this }etter will respond jointly to the two orders. 1,1r. Hogue does not wish to adopt the motions filed by previous counsel. Rather, he intends to file separate motions on or bef ore April 15, 1985. l'1r. Hogue inf orms the Court, however, that he intends to incorporate in his motions much of what is in his former attorneys' l,lotions for Production and Disclosure and l'lotion for Severance, dated February 15, 1985, and then to plead additional matters not contained in these two motions. I would also like to inform Judge Sims that l'1r. Hogue intends to file his own motion to dismiss based on selective and vindicti,ve prosecution and other related matters and a motion for discovery concerning those matters. I am so informing Judge Sims in the event that he wishes to take up l'1r. Hogue's motion for discovery regarding selective prosecution jointly with the related rnotions previously filed by counsel for I"1r. Turner. NINETY NINE HUDSON STREET (212t 21 9-1 900 NEW YORK.
