Re: Garner v. Memphis Police 
Department

Civil Action File Number 
C-75-145

Dear Sir:
Please find enclosed the original and five 

(5) copies of a Notice of Appeal in the above- 
noted action. Please file these in accordance 
with F.R.A.P. 3 and the Local Rules.

We are desirous of expediting the docketing 
of the appeal. To this end, we are hereby 
complying with the provisions of F.R.A.P. 10 & 11 
in order to assist you in compiling and transmitting 
the record on appeal. Pursuant to Rule 10, it is 
our understanding that the record on appeal in this 
case should consist of:

The original papers filed in the District 
Court, including but not limited to the 
Court's order of August 10, 1979, and the 
parties responses thereto; plaintiff's 
memorandum of January 14, 1980, the 
defendant's supplemental memorandum of 
January 24, 1980, and plaintiff's response 
of February 5, 1980; the Court's opinion 
and order of February 29, 1980, and the 
plaintiff's motion for reconsideration of 
March 10, 1980; the Court's order of 
April 29, 1980, and plaintiff's letter to 
the Court of May 12, 1980; plaintiff's 
memorandum of law and plaintiff's offer

1 0  C O L U M B U S  C I R C L E 5 8 6 - 8  3 9 7 N E W  Y O R K ,  N . Y .  1 0 0 1 9



of proof of June 23, 1980, in its 
entirety; the supplemental affidavit 
of James J. Fyfe submitted under 
separate cover on June 24, 1980; 
defendants' response of July 30, 1980, and 
the Court's memorandum and order of July 10, 
1981 and the judgment of July 13, 1981;
The transcript of the proceedings before 
the District Court at the original trial 
in August of 1976. This, however, was 
a part of the record on the original 
appeal and may already be lodged in the 
Sixth Circuit;
A certified copy of the docket entries.

Since no additional testimony was taken on remand 
from the Sixth Circuit, it will not be necessary 
to order or wait upon any transcripts purusant to 
F.R.A.P. 10 (b) & 11 (b). Accordingly, we would 
respectfully request that your office proceed to 
assemble the record on appeal and transmit it to 
the Sixth Circuit as soon as is practicable.

Thank you for your attention to these matters
Sincerely,

Steven L. Winter
