Mr. R. James Kellogg 

RE: Major vs. Treen 
  

Dear Jim: 

This in response to your letter of February 1. As you know, 
I feel very badly about the course of this litigation. 

In spite of considerable concern about our delay in filing a 
supplemental brief on Delaware Valley I do not believe that even 
a timely filing of that brief would have materially changed the 
pace of which the court is moving. In my cover letter to that 
draft brief which I sent out in September I believe that I raised 
questions about future strategy and supplemental motions for 
fees. Several of you wrote back saying that you had no 
additional fees you wish to claim. (I have not heard from L.D.F 
as to either future strategy or supplemental fees) 

  

It is my suggestion that I do the following. Within the 

next several days I will finish the supplemental brief (which I 

received from Steve Ralston several weeks ago) and, with the 

coordination of Bill Quigiey, get that filed. I will contact 

Judge Collins office to learn what I can of the status of this 

matter. I also would communicate with the Judge either by letter 
or supplemental motion/brief informing him of Plaintiffs 

inability to recover the interim fees he thought he ordered last 

January, urging further attention to this matter and informing 

him about our interest in the upcoming legislative session. I 

will also file a supplemental motion for fees and expenses within 

the next several weeks. Anyone who wishes to be included in that 

should let me know immediately. 

I would of course be glad to participate in a conference 

call. Basically my suggestion is to make yet another effort to 

prompt the court to action. Should we request a hearing or  



do this? 1 would like to try this approach for the next several 

months. 

I have no contact with the State. It is difficult for we tO 

assess the possibilities of settlement. I fear that we would 

deal from such a position of weakness it would be quite 

unfavorable. However, perhaps some of you could make a better 

approach than I could to the State to see if there is any 

interest in a settlement that we would find worth considering. 

Thank you for your thoughts. Does anyone else have any 

jdeas? Best regards. 

Sincerely, 

arry JT. Menefee
