As court writ master I have been working diligently on this investigation, however need additional time due to the reasons previously stated in my letter of November 17. In addition I have the following concerns: The Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law are almost complete, and are expected to be complete tomorrow. However the logistics of presenting the paperwork to the District Court for signature on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day are difficult, as the judge expects to be out of town by the time I can make them available to the Court. I expect to be able to present the Findings to the Court by Monday, December 28, 2015, and therefore, request four additional days to complete proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law, and allow the trial court time to review and approve them for submission to this Court. If you have any questions please contact me. Thank you. Very truly yours, “s” Celia M. Sams Celia M. Sams As Writ Master for Judge Dominique Collins Criminal District Court #4
