Re: Garner v. Memphis Police Dept.
_____Civ. No. C-75-145____________
Dear Judge Wellford:
By order dated April 29, 1980, the Court granted 
plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration filed 
March 10, 1980. Because of an oversight, I did 
not receive a copy of the Court's April 29th 
order granting reconsideration. I first learned 
of this order this afternoon during a telephone 
conversation with local counsel in Memphis. Be
cause of this failure of notice, I shall be at a 
significant disadvantage in complying with the 
time period set by the Court's order. Nonetheless,
I shall endeavor to comply with the deadline set 
by this Court. I would expect that I shall be able 
to complete my brief within the 45 days. The offer 
of proof, however, may create a problem. Accord
ingly, I am writing to inform the Court of what has 
transpired and to explain why it may become neces
sary at a later date to request an extension of time.
I am providing a copy of this letter to the Clerk 
so that this situation can be avoided in the future.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Steven L. Winter

J. Franklin Reid, Clerk
