RE: Major v. Treen 
Civil Action No. 82-1192 
Section C 
  

Dear Ms. Bowers: 

Plaintiffs' motion for an award of attorneys' fees and 
expenses contains an error that has been called to my 
attention. The motion shows Steve Scheckman having 117.4 
hours, whereas that figure should be 217.4 hours, as is 
correctly reflected in Mr. Scheckman's affidavit. Accordingly, 
the fee request for Mr. Scheckman would be $27,175 multiplied 
times the requested enhancement of two (2) totalling $54,350.00. 
The overall fee request would be affected accordingly. 

We will file a formal amendment to our motion later making 
this correction and any others that come to our attention 
and updating our fee request as nearly as possible to the 
date of the hearing. If you have any questions, please do 
not hesitate to contact me. 

Best regards. 

Sincerely, 

BLACKSHER, MENEFEE & STEIN, P.A.
