Re: Major v. Treen, Eastern District of Louisiana, No. 82-1192 
  

Dear Judge Collins: 

Plaintiffs would like to have Mr. Julius Chambers present oral arguments 
on behalf of their claims in this matter. Mr. Chambers can be available in 
New Orleans on October 15, 1986. If that is a possible date for the Court 
to schedule arguments in this matter, we would be especially appreciative 
of that accommodation. I believe as much as an hour and a half may be 
helpful for the presentation of the issues in this matter. Thank you for 

your attention. 

Sincerely, 

BLACKSHER, MENEFEE & STEIN
