February 2, 2006 VIA FACSIMILE The Honorable Gregory M. Sleet United States District Court District of Delaware U.S. Courthouse 844 King Street Lockbox 19 Wilmington, DE 19801 RE: Kopacz v. Swett & DRBA No. 04-911

Dear Judge Sleet: Defendant Swett has no objection to plaintiff's request for additional trial time (D.I. 106), provided that Defendant Swett's trial time is not shortened or curtailed in any way and provided that Defendant Swett receives the same amount of time to put on his case. Otherwise, defendant Swett opposes plaintiffs' request. I have also received the DRBA's letter response (D.I. 104) and believe that any division between defendants should be addressed informally between the defendants. I oppose any effort by the DRBA to characterize the defense of its case as any more involved than the defense of my client's case. Again, I believe that the defendants can work out that issue among themselves and respectfully request that we be permitted to do so. In the meantime, I will do everything within my power to move my client's case as expeditiously as possible. Thank you for Your Honor's consideration. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Donald M.
