RE: Jury Duty Disqualification

Dear Judge Penn:

Further to my letter dated January 29, 1996 concerning the above-referenced matter, I enclose two letters for the additional information of the court:

1.  letter dated August 4, 1994 to the Juror Division of this Court; and

2.  letter dated August 4, 1994 to Dennis M. Race, Esq., of the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld who has determined that my belief that I was subjected to unlawful discrimination by my former direct supervisor 1/ was the product of a severe mental disorder that renders me potentially violent and not suitable for employment.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
