Subject: RE: Log Cabin Republicans: Proposed Ex Parte Applications

Ryan, One of the exhibits you attached is a letter I sent Mr. Freeborne on February 11, in which Log Cabin Republicans "propose[d] that the parties agree to brief the cross-motions [regarding the 30(b)(6) deposition] on an expedited basis." (Emphasis added) Furthermore, the letter proposed a schedule and requested that the government "let me know by Wednesday if this schedule is agreeable." I never received any response to the proposal and no such response is attached to your email (below). In your letter to me dated today, however, you contend that the government "agreed" to the briefing schedule proposed by Log Cabin Republicans. See, e.g. (February 22nd was "previously agreed" to as the date by which Plaintiff would send its portion of a Joint Stipulation; February 22nd was the "agreed upon date" for Plaintiff's serving its portion of a Joint Stipulation.) We have received no written or oral communication from the government in which the government told us that it agreed to the proposal. Please let me know immediately when and in what form you contend the government indicated it agreed to the briefing schedule proposed in my February 11 letter. Patrick O. Hunnius
