Memorandum

To:	Presiding Judge Marion T. Pope, Jr.
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	October Oral Arguments
Date:	September 8, 1998

The Third Division has granted oral argument in seven cases. Because of companion cases, only six of the cases will be heard for oral argument. In addition, Chief Judge Andrews who is serving on the Division for the September Term, has four cases in which oral argument has been granted for a total of ten (10) oral arguments.

The Third Division has set aside Wednesday, October 7th and Thursday, October 8th for oral arguments. Chief Judge Andrews prefers to argue his cases in the middle of the week. Please let me know if you would like to set one or both days for the oral argument. If you prefer to hold the oral arguments on one day, which day.

Please let me hear from you on this matter as soon as possible so that the clerk's office will have time to prepare and circulate the oral argument calendar.

Thank you.
