Good afternoon,

I just heard back from the Clerk that he has signed and sealed the forms. It is my understanding that

they will be mailed back to you, but I have asked for confirmation on that, and will let you know if I

find out otherwise.

Have a nice weekend,

Emily

Hey Emily! Just wanted to follow up and see if the Clerk’s office needs anything else for these

Thank you, Ashley! This should be good. I’ll be in the courthouse tomorrow, so I will be able to get

the ball rolling on the signatures. I’ll let you know if the Clerk’s Office needs anything else.

Emily:

Thanks for the call earlier. Pursuant to your request, please find attached USM Form 94 (the Hague

request form) with English responses in the fillable blanks. The form is from the USM’s website at

https://www.usmarshals.gov/forms/usm94.pdf. There does not appear to be a version of the Hague

request form that is entirely in English; our choices are French or Spanish. The French one has much

bigger English words with smaller French words underneath them, so I think that probably comes

closer to what the Clerk was hoping for. Please call if there are further questions or concerns, and

sorry again for the bother.

Thanks,

A

Good morning,

Yes, it might be easier to discuss this over the phone. I apologize if I’m making an unusual situation

even more complicated. Would it be alright if I gave you a call at about 11:00?

Thanks!

Hey Emily, thanks for the email. As you pointed out, the form is in Spanish and English. That’s just

the way the form is; we got it from the US Marshall’s website.

Ex. A to our motion contains a version of the form that we want the court to sign with Spanishlanguage responses to the questions on the form. Ex. A also contains a version of the form with

English-language responses to the questions, for easy side-by-side comparison. The two versions of

the form as separated by a declaration from the translator we hired attesting to the accuracy of the

translation.

Does that clear things up? If not it might be easier to discuss over the phone tomorrow. I am

available at your convenience.

Good afternoon,

I have been working with the Clerk’s Office on getting the Hague Convention forms signed and

sealed. The instruction that I was given was that in addition to the Spanish-language form that you

already provided, the Clerk’s Office needs the English-language version of the form as well, to have a

side-by-side comparison. I do realize that the Spanish-language form includes English translations,

but this is what I was told was needed in order to complete your request. And to be clear, they

would be able to sign and seal the Spanish version as long as they have the English version in

addition. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please let me know if you have any

questions.

Thanks!

Emily
