RE: Dillard, et al. v. Crenshaw County, Alabama, et al. 

Civil Action No. 85-T-1332-N 
  

Dear Judge Thompson: 

As requested by the Court we are reporting to Your Honor on the 
status of settlement discussions and an estimate of trial time. 

We have spoken with all of the attorneys concerning settlement. 
At this point, I must regretably report that settlement is 
doubtful with any county though it is early in the discussions 
and they are continuing. 

Our best estimate is that plaintiffs will need two to three days 
to present their case. We intend to present both the intgent and 
results case. 

very respectfully, 

BLACKSHER, MENEFEE & STEIN, P.A.
