Re: Major v. Treen, Eastern District of Louisiana 

No. 82-1192 
  

  

Dear Judge Collins: 

This matter is before Your Honor on objections to the 

recommendations of the Magistrate and is set on your September 10 

motion docket. : 

We believe that the complexity of this matter would not be 

easily handled on a typical motion docket. We therefore request 

a special setting that would allow at least one hour for 

argument. There is no evidence to be presented. Additionally, 

so that we might prepare a brief response to the defendant's 

objections and because out-of-town counsel may present argument, 

we ask that the setting be at least a week or more beyond the 

current September 10 setting. 

By copy of this letter I ‘ask the attorney for the 

defendants, Ms. Bowers, communicate her position on our request 

to your office. 

Very respectfully, 

arryT. ove
