The Honorable Joseph J. Farnan, Jr. United States District Court District of Delaware J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building 844 N. King Street Wilmington, DE 19801 Re: Dear Judge Farnan: On June 21, 2006, the Court filed a Rule 16 Scheduling Order in the abovecaptioned matter setting all dates in the case including a pretrial conference date of January 11, 2007 at 11:30 a.m. and a trial date of January 16, 2007 at 9:30 a.m. (D.I. 49). Several months later, on October 23, 2006, the Court issued a memorandum order canceling the discovery conference in the case and granting the Plaintiff an extension of time to respond to discovery while he awaits the appointment of counsel. (D.I. 65). The Court did not, however, order the cancellation of the pre-trial conference or trial dates. Therefore, the State Defendants request clarification from the Court regarding the status of the pre-trial conference and trial and whether the Court would like the parties to appear in Court on January 11 or 16. Thank you. Sincerely, /s/ Erika Y. Tross Erika Y. Tross Deputy Attorney General Hamby v. Kastre, et al., D. Del., C.A. No. 05-626-JJF
