Thank you for your memorandum of October 28th regarding the above referenced matter. I have spoken with Judge Beasley and she is in agreement that this case should not be transferred to you. The Clerk's office will effect the transfer back to Judge Beasley 's office.

Judge Beasley suggested that you may wish to authorize an order to file a brief in this matter or inquire of the parties at oral argument on November 3rd, why the appellant has not filed a brief. I shall await your directions in this regard.

If you have any questions regarding the matter or if I can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
