Dear Jim: Re: Gingles v. Edmisten

 

In reading the Ginéles opinion as printed in the Jurisdictional
Statement I notice three errors in the reproduction of that
opinion. The first is that on page 10a a line is missing in
footnote 9. The line goes between ”generally support the” and
"Ma’or v. Treen". The second is that on page 34a the very top
line is a repetition of the bottom line on page 33a. The third
is that on page 36a on the third line from the bottom the
sentence should read "in Halifax County, black citizens have
run unsuccessfully for the Board..." The printed opinion says
”successfully” instead of "unsuccessfully".

Of these errors, the last is the only one that I really care
about. However, if they are to be corrected, they might as
well all be corrected.

I would appreciate your doing whatever is necessary to file
an appropriate errata sheet with the Court.

Thanks for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Leslie J. Winner
