RE: John Dillard, et al. v. Crenshaw County, Alabama, et al. 
Civil Action No. 85-T-1332-N 
  

Dear Judge Thompson: 

The above-referenced case is under submission on plaintiffs’ 
motion for preliminary relief. I write to inquire whether Your 
Honor would consider advising the parties either formally or 
informally of the decision that Your Honor has reached. 

My concern is that with the June 3 election date approaching, 
there is an increasing expenditure of candidate and public 
resources in the preparation of these elections. It may be that 
Your Honor has already reached a decision but because of the 
complexity of this case writing the full opinion to accompany 
such an order may take some time. Therefore, I suggest that Your 
Honor consider issuing either a short order to indicate that the 
elections are to be enjoined or not and that a written opinion 
would follow. Alternatively, a letter from Your Honor could 
inform the parties of the Court's decision though a written 
Opinion may be issued some time later. 

We have seen similar treatment of issues when we were before 
Judge Arnow in the Pensacola voting litigation. I believe such 
treatment was helpful, not only to the litigants, but to the 
public officials and to the public's understanding of the 
election process. 

Very respectfully. 

BLACKSHER, MENEFEE & STEIN, P.A.
