Memorandum

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

According to our docket, the following case has a request for oral argument for the September calendar which is still pending in your office.

A97A1922 Sea-Mar, Inc. v. Richard Wills

Date of Request: 06/06/97 (Timely Request)

In addition to the pending request, the Third Division has 12 cases in which oral argument has been granted for the September calendar. With companion cases and cross appeals, there will only be nine cases which will be argued.

The Third Division has set aside Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 16, 17th and 18th for oral arguments. The Appellate Practice Seminar is scheduled for September 18th, so the oral arguments need to be set for September 16th and/or 17th.

With nine cases for oral argument, or ten cases should you grant the pending request, I believe the cases can be set for one day. Please let me know the day or days you want oral arguments set for the September calendar. I need to know this, along with court action on the pending request for oral argument, by Thursday, August 7th so the clerk's office can get out the September oral argument calendar in a timely fashion.

Thank you.
