Right to a speedy trial

In my inbox today, 10 months* after filing complaints, about 7 months after the last contact I received from the Judicial Council:

---

Over the last semester, the Council has gone through its rough patches in organization and efficiency, but as the Council begins a new semester and with far more organization with our work, it is very important that we make sure every lose end is tied. In May of 2008, 6 cases were filed on your behalf, raising a variety of issues regarding ASUN. As we, the Council, look at our docket, it is very important that we fulfill with our duties as part of being representatives of the University of Nevada, Reno. Your cases are still pending decision. The line is thin now on whether or not it makes sense to begin any discussion on your filings, 1. because of the time frame from filing to present, and 2. your status as a graduated student, meaning you are no longer part of the Association, although you were at the time of the original filings. It is not fair that the Council make the assumption that you no longer wish to continue your cases against certain actions of ASUN, therefore we are asking for you stance on your filings, and whether you wish to withdrawal some or all of your cases at this point in time. If you do wish to continue, you must find a spokesperson, who is in fact a member of the Association at this present time and continue with the charges at hand. The date by which this is necessary is FEBRUARY 3, 2010. If by that time, I have not heard from you and you fail to find a spokesperson, the Council will meet to discuss further action and dismissal of your filings. I appreciate your time, and hope to hear from you soon.

Respectfully,

Ebeth R. Palafox
ASUN Chief Justice

Any takers?
