Re: Hayes v. Genesis Health Vengggges, Iu1c,, ·
Dear Judge Faman:
We represent appellee Genesis Health Ventures, Inc. ("Genesis") in the above-
referenced bankruptcy appeal. This ietteris to seelc clarification as to the Coert’s recent order setting
abriefing schedule. Upon review ofthe docket in that case and the docket in Case No. 02-CV-0016,
which case was dismissed by order of this Court on September 30, 2002 {copy attached for
reference), it appears that the same appeal by appellant James I. Hayes was dociceted twice.
Consultations with an employee from the Office of the Clerk for this Court continued that two
identical notices of appeal were docketed under two case numbers. We respectfully submit that the
instant appeal (No. 01—CV~07l8) should be dismissed for the same reasons articulated by the Court
in its September 30, 2002 order in Case No. 02·-CV-0016. Given the December 20, 2002 deadline
for submission of appellees} brief, we request guidance from the Court as to whether a separate
motion to dismiss the appeal should be filed in Case No. Di-CV-0718.. In addition, we respectfuliy
request a stay of the briefing soheduie pending resolution of this issue.
