Re: Robert Jackson v. WiIIiam Winter

Dear Victor:

I am in receipt of your December 8, 1983 Request for
Payment which was inadvertently sent to Napoleon. I can-
not act on it unti] I receive a signed copy of the Cooperat-
ing Attorney's Agreement which I sent you. I hope this has
not caused you too much inconvenience.

With regard to the drafting of the complaint, I am
still interested in discussing the revisions Armand and I
proposed. In addition, I would appreciate the following
information. When is the first primary scheduled in L981
and for what offices? I assume some races are likety to
yield a black/white run-off contest. If so, can you teII
at this point which races those are likely to be?

I ask thes questions because we may want to pursue the
following schedule:

1. File complaint as soon as everyone sigrns off

2. File extensive requests for admissions, inter-
rogatories and a Motion to Produce the EIec-
tion Results for both the primary and the run-
off in every race since L9O2 in which a black
won the flrst primary ( in other words get the
State to gather the information Justice may
already have)

Contributions are deduetible lor U.S. ineome tar purposes

The NAACp LEGAL DEFENSE & EDUCATIoNAL FUt{o is not part ol the Nalional Association lor the Advancement of Colored People although it

was lounded by il and shares its commitment l0 equal righti. LDF has had lor over 25 years a separate Board, program, stall, ollice and budget.

Victor McTeer, Esg. 2 January 6, 1984

3. Consider seeking a preliminary i.nJunction
in one or two counties only; the specific
counties would be those in which a black
wins a first primary with less than a
majority, and the motion would be f.iled as
soon after the first primary as possible.

I hope you had a nice holiday. I look forward to hearing
from you soon.

siyo7lv,

\V,.^t{}ti Guinier
