Re: Gingles v. Edmisten

 

Dear Mr. Wallace:
This letter is in response to your letter of April 20, 1982,
and in confirmation of our telephone conversation of earlier
today.

With regard to your second set of interrogatories, which con-
cern Congressional reapportionment, I have mailed today under
separate cover,plaintiffs'Request for Voluntary Dismissal of
the claims concerning the Congressional plan. If the Court
approves this dismissal, then I assume that you will withdraw
those interrogatories, and you agreed that there is no point
in plaintiffs' answering your second set of interrogatories
at this time.

Your first set of interrogatories concern the current appor—
tionment of the North Carolina General Assembly. As you know,
the United States Department of Justice entered an objection
to those apportionments on April 19, 1982. Thus, unless the
State files suit in the District Court for the District of
Columbia, and gets a declaratory judgment approving the plans,
they cannot be enforced. Thus those questions which relate

to the particular apportionments are, or may be, irrelevant.

I have enclosed our stipulation that plaintiffs will answer
these interrogatories by May 13, 1982, as we agreed today on
the telephone. I am also mailing three copiestKJthe Clerk.

Mr. James C. Wallace, Jr.
April 21, 1982

However, I reiterate that I have signed the stipulation
Without waiving our right to object to questions about the
particular apportionments which are, or become irrelevant.

As we discussed earlier, I have appreciated our ability to
cooperate in the past, and I believe that we will both be
better off if we continue our past rational, level headed,
approachwhichhas,forthenwstpart,savedbothofim, as well
as the Court, needless work. After this afternoon's dis—
cussion, I am confident that this small dispute is resolved
and that we will continue to cooperate as we have in the
past.

Sincerely,
