RE: CASE NO: 4: 17-CV-520-DPM

Your Honor:

In the June 4, 2018, hearing al I parties attorneys were able to make statements regarding the Plaintiffs TRO. The parties were notified at 1:35pm CST of a 2:00pm CST telephone hearing. John Buzbee emailed me notice of the hearing on June 4, 2018, at 2:00pm CST and I did not check my emails until after the hearing was over.

From what Mr. Buzbee told me after the telephone hearing. The bulk of the discussion and a majority of the TRO revolves around me individually which, I am prose in this matter. In an effort to reduce future involvement of the Court and avoid having yet another preliminary injunction hearing. I kindly ask the Court to allow me approximately 15 minutes after the show cause hearing to speak to the Court regarding my response to the Plaintiffs TRO and to ask for clarification on several items so, the parties can have a clear understanding and to avoid future unnecessary involvement of the Court. The Court has already made its ruling on the TRO and there is absolutely no reason for witnesses to be called . I anticipate that the Plaintiffs will use this opportunity to go on yet another fishing expedition and call witnesses. The Court has already made its ruling and hopefully, the Court will not allow the Plaintiffs to go on another fishing expedition.

The past few hearings have had a tendency to run significantly longer than anticipated. I need to be at the airport at approximately 4:30pm and would ask the Court to grant each side a specific amount of time and not allow anything over the allotted time.
