Memorandum

To:	All Judges
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	A98A0351 . Charles A. Groomes v. Mariama V. Bell
Date:	January 8, 1998

On the afternoon of January 7th I had a conversation with Mr. Groomes whose case was dismissed by the Court. Mr. Groomes made at least two indirect threats of violence because of his dissatisfaction with this case.

As far as I know, Mr. Groomes only thinks that I am involved in the case. I do not know if he noticed the judges' names on the docketing notice.

At any rate, I would ask that each of you exercise extreme caution in the near future. I shall notify security of Mr. Groomes ' situation and ask that should he come back to the Court, he is monitored closely.

Thank you.
