MOTION TO SHORTEN TIME 

Plaintiffs move the court pursuant to Rule 33(a), Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure, for an order directing defendants to 

answer plaintiffs’ second discovery request by Friday, February 

28, 1986. As grounds for this motion, plaintiffs would show: 

1. Plaintiffs’ second discovery request, filed on February 

18, 1986, seeks to discover any knowledge defendants might have 

regarding the legislative history for the various county 

commissions throughout the state. To do this, plaintiffs first 

set out what they believe constitutes the complete legislative 

history for each county commission. Plaintiffs then request that 

each defendant identify any mistakes or errors of which they have 

 



  

knowledge, for their own county and for any other county. 

2. Defendants will not be burdened by this request since it 

only seeks defendants’ knowledge of errors in plaintiff's 

legislative history. 

3. The hearing on preliminary injunction is set in this case 

for Tuesday, March 4, 1986. Plaintiffs need this information in 

order to adequately prepare for that hearing. 

WHEREFORE, plaintiff prays the court will enter an order 

requiring defendants to answer plaintiffs’ second discovery 

request no later than Friday, February 28, 1986. 

Q Th 
Respectfully submitted this [2 day of February, 1986.
