Enclosed please find a Mediation Notice we received from the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals- It schedules mediation in the appeal for Monday October 30, 2000 at 2:00 pin at Room 1304 of the Claude Pepper Federal Building, 51 Southwest First Avenue, Miami. This is t191 where the trial took place but is just off Flagler Avenue. It should not take more that three hours for mediation. The mediation process is an attempt to help the parties resolve the issue in dispute without it going any further. 1 will be forwarding a copy of our brief to the mediator for his review.

We can meet at that the Federal Building Room 1304 at 1:30 pm so that we have time to review the issues which may be discussed.
