RE: Thomas v. Madden (No. 01-6240 Civil Term)
Dear
U?. QI
Sandra L. Mailton
smeitton@tuckerlaw. corn
Please be advised that I represent Richard Thomas in the above matter. This matter is
scheduled to be heard by you on Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 9:15 a.m. The issue before
you at that time is Mr. Thomas' request for a custodial visit over the Labor Day weekend.
I am pleased to inform you that the parties have amicably resolved this issue and each has
signed a Stipulation agreeing to the entry of an Order outlining the terms of Mr. Thomas' visit.
Enclosed for your review are copies of the Stipulations signed by the parties and a draft Order
for your review and signature.
I apologize for the fact that the signatures are faxed signatures; however, given the short notice
and the fact that Mr. Thomas lives in Ohio and Ms. Madden in Carbon County, Pennsylvania,
faxed signatures are all that I could obtain at this point time. Note, however, that the
Stipulations signed by the parties do reference the fact that faxed signatures are acceptable to
each of the parties. The original signatures are en route to me by regular mail.
Unless I hear from the Court to the contrary, I will be present at the scheduled 9:15 a.m.
August 23, 2006 hearing to answer any questions that the Court might have. Also, I will have my
client, Mr. Thomas, and Tracy Madden available by telephone. Ms. Madden is not represented
by counsel at this point in time.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
TUCKER ARENSBERG, P.C.
