To the Honorable Judge Land:

Currently, I am shipping out to Iraq for my deployment. I became aware on last night's local news that a
Motion to Stay my deployment had been entered on my behalf. I did not authorize this motion to be
filed. I thank you for hearing my case and respect the ruling given on September 16*2009, It is evident
that the original filing for the TRO and such was full of political conjecture which was not my interest. I
had no intention of refusing orders nor will l. I simply wanted to verify the lawfulness of my orders. I
am honored to serve my country and thank you for doing the same.

With that I said, please withdraw the Motion to Stay that Ms. Taitz filed this past Thursday. I did not
authorize it and do not wish to proceed. Ms. Tait 2 never requested my permission nor did I give it. I
would not have been aware of this if I did not see it on the late news on Thursday night before going to
board my plane to Iraq on Friday, September 18, 2009.

Furthermore, I do not wish for Ms. Taitz to file any future motions or represent me in anyway in this
court. It is my plan to file a complaint with the California State 8ar due to her reprehensible and
unprofessional actions.

I am faxing this as was advised by Tim, who works in the District Clerk's office. I will mail the original
copy of this letter once l have arrived in Iraq.

Respectfully,

CPT Connie M. Rhodes, MD
