Re: Cleopatria Martinez; Request for Hearing 

Dear Mr. Bowers: 

Pursuant to Section 3.15.3 of the Maricopa Community College RFP 

Manual, Dr. Cleopatria Martinez hereby invokes her right to _a hearing regarding 

her proposed di~missal from the· Maricopa County Community College-District. 

We ask that the proposed termination of Dr. Martinez be rejected because 

it is based upon a misunderstanding of the underlying facts .and applicable law, in 

addition to improperly ignoring Dr. Martinez:s twenty-eight years of exemplary 

service to the District. 

I will be serving as Dr. M2:t!nez's legal counsel in connection with the 

proposed dismissal. 

Thank you very much.
