Sante Fe, N.M. — Lawyers for David Letterman want a judge to quash a restraining order granted to a Santa Fe woman who contends the CBS late-night host used code words to show he wanted to marry her and train her as his co-host.

(Colleen) Nestler requested that Letterman, who tapes his show in New York, stay about three metres away and not “think of me, and release me from his mental harassment and hammering.”

Letterman's longtime Los Angeles lawyer, Jim Jackoway, said Nestler's claims were “obviously absurd and frivolous.”

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.
