RE: Farris vs. Farris
94-6643 civil Term
Dear Judge Oler:
Enclosed is a photocopy of the Order you entered on February
8, 1995 in the above captioned action. SomeWhere along the line
there was a typographical error that has named the guardian ad
litem as Vivian H, Harris instead of Vivian H. ~arris, I do not
want to encounter any complications associated with what appears
to be a typographical problem and would appreciate if a new Order
could be issued clarifying the name of the guardian ad litem, If
you need to have me take any additional action, please so advise
me.
Very truly yours,
BLGjrjg
