Dear Judge Kocltl: 

We represent plaintiffs in this action. I write with respect to defense counsel's August 4, 2003 

Ietter (attached), wherein he rcquests that the Court adjourn the August 29 (2:30 pm) motion to dismiss 

oral argument to eithcr September 3 or 4. Defense counsel notcd that 1 was agreeabIe to the 

adjoul-ri~~~ent, but that if the COLI~-t was not available on those dates, counsel would appear August: 29. 

Unfortunately, due to the passage of time 1 ail1 110 longer available September 3 or 4 because 1 

have been asked to appear before the Superior Court for Jefferson County, Missouri for a case 

management conference on 1.11~ morning of September 4. Consequently, I ask that oral argument on thc 

motion to dismiss remain set on August 29 at 2:30 pm. 

I have spoken with counsel for defendant and lie advises that he is available on August 29. 

Respecrfi~lly submitted,
