On Appeal From the United States District Court 
for the Northern District of Texas 

DALLAS COUNTY PLAINTIFF/INTERVENORS' 
OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT/INTERVENOR DALLAS 

COUNTY DISTRICT JUDGE HAROLD F. ENTZ'S MOTION 
FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF EXPEDITED BRIEFING SCHEDULE 
  

Dallas County plaintiff/intervenors Jesse Oliver, Joan 

Winn White and Fred Tinsley appear to oppose the Motion for 

Establishment of Expedited Briefing Schedule filed by defendant- 

/intervenor Dallas County District Judge Harold F. Entz and as 

basis for such opposition, states as follows: 

i. This Court has stayed the district court's 

Judgment pending consideration of possible remedies by the Texas 

Legislature, which has now been called into special session on 

February 27, 1990, for such purpose. 

2. This Court by granting the stay has effectively 

removed any need for expedition of consideration of the issues 

on appeal. 

3. The issues relative to this appeal are those of 

public importance, and in the view of plaintiff/intervenors 

Oliver, et al., those to which considerable time by the parties 

should be devoted in briefing and argument. 

4. No need for expedition has been demonstrated by 

the Motion for Expedited Briefing Schedule, given the stay by 

this Court and the pendency of the remedy issues before the 

2 

 



  

Texas Legislature. 

WHEREFORE, premises considered, Dallas County 

Plaintiff/Intervenors Jesse Oliver, et al. oppose the Motion for 

Expedition filed by defendant/intervenor Dallas County District 

Judge Harold F. Entz. 

Respectfully submitted,
