This/order needs to be given a misc. number. I don't know how
this idea got started, but I think this particular order was
drafted in Asheville. (We have a similar order that apparently was
drafted by Judge Jarvis and it doesn't have that number requirement
in it.)
Whatever, both need to be entered here. I don't think it will
be necessary to enter them elsewhere in the district since the other
divisions are not involved.
(Actually, Tilson needs to be given this adjoining jurisdiction
authority, but that is still in the works. The order that accomplishes
that will, of course, have to be entered in Greeneville.)
I would like to get these orders on their way no later than
tomorrow. I have to send them to all our magistrates and to the
other districts involved. And, of course, the AO will need its
copies. I intend to ask Rhonda to do the circulating to the
magistrates and the other districts. What about the AO end of it?
Do you want to let her do that part for you?
