Dear Senator Weiler:

                I’m writing in support of Margaret Plane’s appointment by Governor Herbert to serve on the Utah Court of Appeals. I know Margaret personally and in her professional capacity as an attorney. I worked with Margaret in her capacity as Salt Lake City Attorney in contract matters as the Salt Lake Legal Defender Association is a contractor with Salt Lake City Corporation. Margaret has a keen knowledge of the law, exercises sound judgment and wisdom, and has the proper temperament and demeanor to serve on the bench. I have no doubt that she will be a highly qualified jurist if confirmed by the Utah Senate.

                I am hopeful that the Utah Senate will give Margaret a hearing before the Judicial Confirmation Committee. I believe if given the opportunity, Margaret will prove to you and your Senate colleagues that she will be an excellent addition to the Utah Court of Appeals. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Rich
