LAWRENCE COUNTY DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE 
TO THIRD DISCOVERY REQUEST 
  

Defendants Lawrence County, Larry Smith and Dan Ligon 

respond to Plaintiffs' third discovery request as follows: 

1. These Defendants to not intend to call any expert 

witnesses in connection with the liability aspect of this case. 

(But see comment below regarding witnesses of other Defen- 

dants.) However, with respect to the remedy aspects of the 

case, these Defendants may call Rod Clark, whose address is 

Center for Urban Affairs, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 

Birmingham, Alabama. 

a. Mr. Clark would testify regarding any remedial 

plan which might be submitted by the Lawrence County 

Defendants, including the population and geographical 

basis for said plan. 

b-c. The witness would testify that any such plan is 

based upon population figures supplied by the United 

States Bureau of the Census, or from other reliable popu- 

lation information; that the districts created are of 

essentially equal population; that the plan would include 
I 

 



  

a predominantly black district from which a black would 

likely be elected to the County Commission. 

These Defendants may rely upon expert testimony offered by 

other Defendants, and they therefore adopt the responses of the 

other Defendants to Plaintiffs' third discovery request. For 

example, see Etowah County Defendants' Answer to Plaintiffs’ 

Third Discovery Request. 

2. It is understood that this information regarding Mr. 

Clark is being provided in the response of the Talladega County 

Defendants to this discovery request. That information is 

adopted by these Defendants. 

3. The requested maps are enclosed. 

4. No supplement required. 

8 No supplement required. 

Respectfully submitted,
