Memorandum

To:	Presiding Judge Marion T. Pope, Jr.
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	Pending Oral Argument Requests - October Calendar
Date:	August 18, 1997

According to our docket the following cases have a request for oral argument for the October calendar still pending in your office. As you will recall, oral arguments for the Third Division will be held on Wednesday, October 22nd and/or Thursday, October 23rd as per your instructions. This is a change from the earlier dates of October 14th and 15th which you had indicated to Judge Johnson.

Because the change in the oral argument dates for October occurred after the docketing notices went out, the clerk's office will have to send out orders changing the oral argument date. With that regard, I would appreciate your office acting on the pending oral argument requests so we can set the October oral argument calendar and send out the change notices.

Please act on the pending requests by the close of business on Thursday, August 21, 1997.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
