Re: Lutz v. Lutz
No. 94-6249 civil -- In Divorce
Dear Master Elicker:
As you are awa~e, I represent the Plaintiff, Elaine Pringer
Lutz in the above-capti.oned divorce action. I am in rt!!ceipt of
your correspondence dated December 15, 1997, in which you indicated
that you would only address the Equitable Distribution claim.
Please be advised that I did file an Amended Complaint in
Divorce, prior to filing the Motion for Appointment of a Master.
In the Amended Complaint, I included a claim for Alimony and paid
an additional $15.00 in order to add the new Count. Therefore, I
would respectfully request that the Plaintiff's claim for Alimony
be addressed in addition to the economic claim of Equitable
Distribution.
