Re: Cromartie v. Hunt Interrogatories 

Dear Tiare: 

This letter is to confirm the contents of our phone conference with you and Adam 

concerning the Interrogatories we served on both the State Defendants and the Defendant- 

Intervenors yesterday, August 31, 1999. 

In the interest of coming to a mutual agreement and avoiding any further issues about 

what constitutes a “discrete part” of an interrogatory and is therefore separately counted, we are 

willing to withdraw Interrogatories #8 and #10 to the Defendant-Intervenors and Interrogatories 

#25, #26, #29A and #29D to the State-Defendants. 

You indicated that you had some possible objections to interrogatories and we shall await 

hearing from you further concerning these possible objections. If we agree that an interrogatory 

is objectionable, its elimination will reduce the total. If a hearing is scheduled as to the number of 

interrogatories, then these possible objections could also be considered at that time. 

If our withdrawal of the above-listed interrogatories does not solve the problem, we will 

attempt to arrange for a hearing before Judge Boyle or the Magistrate Judge handling this case to 

discuss the interrogatories. As I mentioned, I already have left a call with David Daniel to see 

about a possible hearing. Please let us know as soon as possible if a hearing will be necessary. 

Sincerely, 

(ls 77
