Memorandum

To:	Presiding Judge William L. McMurray , Jr.
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	September Oral Arguments
Date:	August 4, 1997

The First Division has 18 cases in which oral argument has been granted for the July calendar, in addition to one case in which Chief Judge Andrews has granted oral argument. Chief Judge Andrews will be serving with the First Division during the January 1998 term. With companion cases and cross appeals, there will be a total of 18 cases which will be argued.

The First Division has reserved Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 3, 4 and 5th for September oral argument. I believe the cases can be easily argued on two days. As was the case last year, Chief Judge Andrews would appreciate your placing his case as the first argument on Wednesday.

Please let me know which day or days you would prefer for the First Division oral argument. I would appreciate your letting me know by Thursday, August 7th, so that the clerk's office can get the September calendar out in a timely fashion.

Thank you.
