appealable judgment from Judge
has filed the notice of appeal.
of our brief. f've also eent
our appellate committee.

Pl.ease feel free to make changes, sugigiestions,
etc. Bilt is leaning toward filing a motion to
expedite 60 that, assuming we win, we have a chance of
gettlng through with the case in time for the 1988
election. tet me know what you think.

On another front, I got a cal.l from the Appellate
Section of the Civil Rights Division about possible
amlcus participation (on our side). At around the same
time, however, f heard a rumor that Brad Reynolds may
want to go the other way. If they do, we can nail them
with their North Carolina brlef, but f'll keep in touch
about this.

SincereJy,
