The Honorable Gregory M. Sleet United States District Court 844 King Street Wilmington, DE 19801 RE: Hamilton/Elohim v.Guessford, et.al. C.A. No.: 04-1422 (GMS)

Dear Judge Sleet: I am writing this letter to report on the status of the above-captioned matter. As the Court records will reflect, this is a claim brought by the plaintiff, pro se as a result of his being held in confinement by the State of Delaware for more that four (4) years beyond his official release date from imprisonment. That is, his official release date should have been July 17, 1999, as determined by the Delaware Supreme Court, Hamilton v. State, 831 A.2d 881, n.6 (Del. 2003). This matter was filed by the plaintiff, pro se, on November 5, 2004. Subsequently, I was consulted by the plaintiff, and entered my appearance on April 12, 2006. While the docket reflects various communications and transactions between the Court and the pro se plaintiff, as well as initial discovery between the parties, no scheduling order has ever been entered in this matter. Accordingly, I write to the Court on behalf of the plaintiff to request that this matter be set for a scheduling conference. Thank you for Your Honor's kind consideration. Respectfully, /s/ Gary W. Aber
