OF COUNSEL

Honorable Stephen J. Roth 
United States District Judge 
600 Church Street 
Flint, Michigan 48502

RE: Bradley, et al. v. Milliken, et al.,
Civil Action No. 35257

Dear Judge Roth:
We are in receipt of the Consent and Stipulation to 

Substitution of Counsel and the proposed Order for Sub
stitution filed by Mr. Curtner in the above matter.

We, of course, have no objection to the addition of 
counsel for the Detroit Board defendants. But for the 
reasons set forth in our letter of November 26, 1971 ( a 
copy of which is attached hereto) we continue to have 
reservations about the withdrawal of present counsel. If 
the Court and the parties could be assured in writing by 
new counsel for the Detroit Board that no delay with regard 
to any matter in this cause will be sought because of the 
substitution of counsel, plaintiffs would withdraw their 
objections.

Respectfully submitted,

LRL:pww
