OF COUNSEL

Robert J. Lord, Esq.
8388 Dixie Highway 
Fairhaven, Michigan 48203

RE: Bradley v. Milliken,
CA. No. 35257

Dear Mr. Lord:

We are in receipt of your request seeking concurrence 
in procedures for recalling a prior order of the Court in 
the above-styled cause. Your contemplated motion to recall 
the Court s order of November 15, 1971, is in direct violation 
of the Court's order pertaining to conditions on intervention 
issued March 15, 1972. Insofar as you request concurrence of 
counsel for leave to file such a motion, such request is also 
in violation of the March 15, 1972, order, as the Court did 
not make provisions for reopening issues previously determined, 
by concurrence of counsel or otherwise. We, therefore, 
decline both requests, and put you on notice that we consider 
your efforts to reopen previously-determined issues to be in 
contempt of Court. If you persist in seeking to file your 
contemplated motion, we will move the Court to expel you from 
participation in this cause, as you will have violated the 
conditions under which you were allowed to intervene.

Very truly yours,

Louis R. Lucas
