■ Case4:09-cv-001 06-CDL Document 12-2 Filed 09/14/ ~ J

To Whom It May Concern:

I was informed of an emergency hearing being granted by Judge Clay Land this afternoon
at approximately 2 pm. As I am current active duty military, I am required to ensure I
have leave if not present at my assigned duty station. I am currently scheduled to report
to Ft. Benning on September 12, 2009 with my flight leaving Manhattan KS at
approximately 7am that morning.

When made aware of the emergency hearing, I contacted my command requesting a day
of leave in order to be present for the hearing which would be one day prior to my
original orders to be present at Ft. Benning, At approximately 5:15pm, I spoke to my
direct supervisor, LTC Kolet Pablo, after returning my previous telephone call. She
informed me that Col Jeffery Johnson (IACH Hospital Commander) had denied my
request for leave and I was ordered to meet with him at 4pm on September 1 1, 2009. 1
explained that this was in regards to my current lawsuit concerning lawful orders. She
indicated understanding and stated that I would be unable to attend and to work with my
attorney regarding such. I am to report to Ft. Benning on September 12 as originally
scheduled.

If I chose not to appear at the hearing, I would be considered AWOL (absent without
leave) and disobeying an order from a superior. This would subject me to UCMJ penalty
which could include military imprisonment. As such, I am unable to attend the hearing
per my military obligations and authorize my attorney, Orly Taitz, to act upon my behalf
to pursue my constitutional rights.

Very Respectfully,

September 10, 2009
