Memorandum

To:	Presiding Judge A. W. Birdsong, Jr.
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	September Oral Argument
Date:	August 4, 1997

The Second Division has 12 cases in which oral argument has been granted for the September calendar. With companion cases, there will be only 11 cases which will be argued.

The Second Division has reserved Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 9th, 10th and 11th for oral arguments. Obviously, three days will not be required for 11 oral arguments. In fact, you can hear them all on one day if you wish.

Please let me know by Thursday, August 7th, which day or days you would like the clerk's office to set for the Second Division oral arguments. We need the information by that date so we can send out September oral argument calendar in a timely fashion.

Thank you.
