Letterman subject of restraining order

Judge David A. Sanchez of the Santa Fe (New Mexico) District Court has entered a temporary restraining order against David Letterman on the petition of Colleen Nestler, whose claimed contacts with Letterman have been via television and telepathy.

Nestler's application for a restraining order was accompanied by a six-page typed letter in which she said Letterman used code words, gestures and "eye expressions" to convey his desires for her.

She wrote that she began sending Letterman "thoughts of love" after his "Late Show" began in 1993, and that he responded in code words and gestures, asking her to come East.

She said he asked her to be his wife during a televised "teaser" for his show by saying, "Marry me, Oprah." Her letter said Oprah was the first of many code names for her and that the coded vocabulary increased and changed with time.
