Unfortunately, as I indicatied in a phone message to your home at 2:45 p.m. today, we are unable to handle your case.

The National Organization for Women is dedicated to making legal, political, social and economic change in our society in order to achieve our goal, which is to eliminate sexism and end all oppression. The methods we use include legislatlive lobbying, political action, grassroots organizing and education. Unfortunately, we do not have the expertise or the resources to assist individuals. We do not have staff attorneys. Instead our focus is to change the system so that women will not face so many problems. Your case requires the attention of lawyers. My assistant, Cindy Hanford, left the following numbers on your answering machine as sources for referrals. The Public Justice Center - Phone: (410) 625-9409. They stress civil rights issues and expressed a willingness to talk to you. They provide _pro bono_ attorneys if they decide to accept a case. Baltimore Legal Referral Service - Phone: (410) 337-9100. I regret that we cannot be of more assistance to you. I am returning your documents to save you further duplication costs.

Unfortunately, at this juncture, our office is unable to assist you in this matter. Our office currently has cases pending throughout the State of California and simply cannot devote the required time to pursue your case. Our inability to take your case is no reflection on the merits of your lawsuit. However, we simply do not have the time, due to existing commitments, to dedicate to your case. You should contact another attorney immediately as there may be procedural rules and/or face the statutory requirements with which you must comply or face the possibility of being barred from ever pursuing your case. Whomever you retain to represent you in this matter will be aware of these rules and protect your interest. I have enclosed with this letter all documents that you previously forwarded this office. We sincerely appreciate your considering this firm to represent you in this matter and under different circumstances would have been glad to represent you. If we can be of assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact our firm. Sincerely, [signature] Milton C.
