RE: Kenneth S Mitchell v. Wachovia Corporation, et al.
Civil Action No. 06-725 GMS
Dear Judge Sleet:
I write in response to Your Honor's query yesterday concerning Ms. Mishra's
scheduling conflict on April 22. As Your Honor will recall, April 22 is considered a possible
date for the pre-trial conference in the above—referenced matter.
Ms. Mishra is the sole faculty member for a seminar on intermittent FMLA leave
that is being sponsored by the Center for Competitive Management on April 22 at 2pm. The
program has already been advertised and CCM has been enrolling attendees for several weeks.
CCM does not have a backup speaker for this event and will experience significant costs and
difficulties if she must cancel.
Separately, yesterday Ms. Walker proposed April 23 as a date for the pre-trial
conference. However, I understand Mr. Mones has a conflict on April 23. He is involved in a
workers compensation hearing before the Industrial Accident Board all day on that date, and that
matter cannot be rescheduled as he has a ntunber of experts already lined up for live testimony. ‘

My recollection is that May lst is a date that suits the Court's calendar. It also
suits cotmsel (Your Honor excused me as local counsel due to a conflict, but I expect that case
to settle so I will likely be present). I respectfully submit that, if such date is still acceptable to
Your Honor, the pretrial conference remain on May l.
Respectfully submitted,
. McMackin, III
