Re: Cromartie v. Hunt, No. 4:96-CV-104-BO(3)

Dear Sirs:

[ am one of the attorneys representing the defendant-intervenors in the above-captioned

case. I indicated to you in a letter dated October 27, 1999 that a case in which I am currently

representing parties, in Maxwell v. Foster, Civil Action No. 3:98CV 1378, was scheduled to go to

trial on November 29, 1999. Given this trial date, I requested that this Court not set trial for the

Cromartie case for November 29, 1999.

However, I have been notified by court order in Maxwell v. Foster that the trial in that

case has been continued and reset for February 28, 2000. Therefore, I no longer have a potential

conflict on November 29, 1999. Attached please find copies of the court orders setting trial dates
