CHAMBERS OF JUSTICE SAMUEL ALITO
Supreme Court of the United States Washington, D. C. 20543

October 5, 2006

Honorable Randy J. Holland
Supreme Court of Delaware
P.O. Box 369
Georgetown, DE 19947

Dear Randy:

I was honored to receive your invitation to be the keynote speaker at the dinner honoring Judge Roth on October 28, 2006. I very much wish that I could accept, but unfortunately, some months ago I made a conflicting commitment that makes it impossible for me to be in Wilmington on October
28.

I hope you are enjoying the Appellate Rules Committee. If you find yourself in the vicinity of the Supreme Court, please stop by.

Sincerely yours,
Sam

Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
