Dear Jon:

It was indeed a pleasure to meet with you, David and Judge McVay concerning the Cherokee County Bar Association's Law Day Activities and plans for the Third Division to hold oral arguments in Canton on April 28th. As we discussed during our meeting, I have enclosed copies of the briefs filed by the parties in the cases set for oral argument. Additionally, I have enclosed a copy of the Court's calendar, a copy of the Court's administrative order setting the cases on for oral argument as well as our latest edition of our Court History.

It is my understanding that you or David will contact the local media and provide them with a press release regarding the Court's appearance. Also, you will attempt to coordinate a group photo with the panel and the local Bar after oral argument. If there are any attorneys in the District Attorney's office, or other attorneys in your local Bar who would like to be sworn-in during our oral arguments, please have them contact me so that I can make the appropriate arrangements for their swearing in. If any of the local media have any questions or if I can assist you in dealing with them, please do not hesitate to contact me. Also, I believe you are going to provide Presiding Judge Pope with a list of dignitaries or others in attendance that he will wish to recognize.

If you have any questions regarding the arrangements as we have discussed or if I can assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for the directions to the courthouse and parking lot. I shall send them to the attorneys who will be arguing the cases. Thanks too, for lunch. I shall look forward to seeing you on the 28th. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do to facilitate the oral arguments.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III
