Re: Sheff v. O’Neill

Dear Tony:

Enclosed is a copy of the recent decision in the most recent round of Sheff. I think

the judge pretty clearly demonstrates her hostility to our position. We are currently leaning

toward not appealing the case for fear that doing so might make us vulnerable to a more

hostile Supreme Court. We are, however, considering ways to continue to exert pressure

on the legislature in order to encourage them to respond effectively to the Supreme Court

order. In the likely event that they fail to take effective actions, we will continue to take

steps do document their inactions in preparation for a return to court at some later time.

We will be in touch soon to discuss further development of a plan as soon as we

have re-group. Hope all is well with you.

Very truly yours,

CD wr
