RE

APPEAL r.1-56079 AND 11-56164

DEAR MS DWYER

Apparently there was a misunderstanding in regards to the Appeal in question


The appeal involves 2 entities "Defend Our Freedoms Foundation" where Orly Taitz is the president and Orly Taitz as an individual. Both entities were supposed to be part of one appeal, however 2 separate appeal numbers were assigned and separate schedules were assigned. I am asking to join both appeals 11-56079 and 11-56164 and issue one schedule. I am also asking for one appeal fee. Sincerely

/s/ Orly Taitz
