MOTION TO WITHDRAW MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AMICI
CURIAE BRIEF

AND FOR LEAVE TO FILE A BRIEF OF APPELLEE-INTERVENORS

Ronald Chisom, Walter Willard, Henry Dillon, III, and the Louisiana Voter

Registration/Education Crusade ("Appellee-Intervenors") respectfully request that its

outstanding motion for leave to file an amici curiae brief be withdrawn and that leave be

granted in order to file a brief as Appellee-Intervenors.

On March 4th, Appellee-Intervenors filed a motion to intervene in this action. Motion

To Intervene As Appellees, filed March 4, 1998. Before this Court had an opportunity to rule

on this motion, the Appellee-Intervenors also filed a motion for leave to participate in this

action as amici curiae, in order to ensure compliance with the briefing schedule for the instant

action. Motion For Leave To File A Brief Amici Curiae, dated April 17, 1998. On April 24, this

Court granted Appellee-Intervenors motion to intervene in the present action as appellees.

Order, April 24, 1998. This order renders moot the outstanding motion by the same parties to

participate in this case as amici curiae and thus, Appellee-Intervenors seek to withdraw this

motion. However, in order for Appellee-Intervenors to have an opportunity to respond to the

brief filed by Appellant Perschall in this matter, Appellee-Intervenors also now move for leave

to file the accompanying Brief of Appellant-Intervenors.'
