              Dear Mr. Criff:     · M ~({T,t..S ~

                     At this time I have just received a copy of the trial record in your case. I will now begin
              reviewing the record to identify the issues that we will argue in the brief. This process will probably
              take between 30 and 60 days until the brief is ready to be filed, so please be patient. l think it is
              important to take time to make sure that no issue is overlooked.
                                                                 t(                l/

              -
              for your issues. Thanks for keeping me posted about your address change.
