AFFIDAVIT OF GREGORY B. STEIN 

STATE OF ALABAMA ) 

MOBILE COUNTY ) 

Gregory B. Stein, being duly sworn on oath, deposes and says 

as follows: 

I was admitted to the practice of law in September, 1975, 

and have been engaged in private practice in Mobile, Alabama, 

since that time. The vast majority of my practice (over 90%) has 

been in the fields of civil rights and constitutional law. 

Attached hereto is a description of time expended by me in 

connection with the Dillard v. Crenshaw County action. There 

was only one occasion when I expended a significant amount of 

time in connection with this action and for which I will claim 

fees. The entry of time was extracted from time logs I have 

maintained on a daily basis of work done. To the best of my 

knowledge, information and belief, the time logs and the 

description of time attached hereto accurately reflect the time I 

expended in connection with this litigation for which I will 

claim compensation.

JOHN DILLARD, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

Vv. : Civil Action No. CV 85-T-1332-N 

CRENSHAW COUNTY, ALABAMA, 

et al., 

Defendants. 

JIT CY IIR oS A Ea LS ERT 

AFFIDAVIT   

STATE OF NEW YORK ) 
: 8S. 

COUNTY OF NEW YORK ) 

DEBORAH FINS, being duly sworn, deposes and says: 

, I am one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs in this 

case, and I am employed as Assistant Counsel of the NAACP Legal 

Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. ("Legal Defense Fund"). I 

submit this affidavit in support of plaintiffs' application for 

an award of attorneys' fees, costs and expenses. 

2. The Legal Defense Fund is a non-profit organization 

which was founded in 1940 and which has since furnished legal 

assistance in cases involving claims of racial discrimination and 

deprivation of constitutional rights before state and federal 

courts throughout the nation. See NAACP v. Button, 371 U.S. 415, 

421 n.5 (1963). The Legal Defense Fund has been approved by the 

 



  

® 

Appellate Division of the State of New York to function as a 

legal aid organization, and it has been cited by the United 

States Supreme Court as having a "corporate reputation for 

expertness in presenting and arguing the difficult questions of 

law that frequently arise in civil rights litigation." NAACP v.   

Button, supra, 371 U.S. at 422. In the area of voting rights in 
  

particular, attorneys affiliated with the Legal Defense Fund have 

litigated important cases decided by the Supreme Court (e.g., 

Gingles v. Thornburg, U.S. _ , 106 S, Ct. 2752 (1986); United 
  

Jewish Organizations v. Carey, 430 U.S. 144 (1977); Allen v. 
  

Board of Elections, 393 U.S. 544 (1966); Smith v. Allwright, 321 
  

  

U.S. 649 (1944); Nixon v. Condon, 286 U.S. 73 (1932); as well as 

the Circuit courts or three-judge courts (e.g., Brown v. Bd. of 
  

Sch. Com'rs of Mobile County, Ala., 706 F.2d 1103 (11th Cir.       

1983); Coalition for Ed. in Dist, 1 Vv, Board of ‘Flec., City of 
  

  

N.Y., 495 F.2d 1090 (2d Cir. 1974); Major v. Treen, 574 F. Supp. 

325 (E.D. La. 1983) (three-judge court)). 

3. Neither I nor any other attorney on the staff of the 

Legal Defense Fund has accepted or expects to receive any 

compensation or reimbursement from the plaintiffs in this case. 

No counsel fees, costs or expenses will be obtained for work done 

or money spent on this case by the Legal Defense Fund or its 

staff attorneys unless the Court awards such fees, costs and 

expenses against the defendants. Any such award to attorneys 

employed by the Legal Defense Fund will be paid over to the Legal 

Defense Fund. 

 



  

4. I am admitted to practice law before the following 

courts: the Supreme Court of the United States, the United 

States Courts of Appeals for the Fifth, Sixth and Eleventh 

Circuits; the United States District Court for the Southern 

District of New York; and the New York Court of Appeals. I have 

appeared pro hac vice in numerous other courts. 

5, I graduated with honors from Barnard College in 1975 

and Columbia Law School in 1978. I began working for the Legal 

Defense Fund in August, 1978. 

6. Between August, 1978 and April, 1983, I was responsible 

for the Fund's death penalty litigation in the State of Florida, 

the state with the largest death row population in the nation. I 

was also involved as co-counsel in capital cases from other 

jurisdictions. Among the cases in which I was counsel are 

Barclay v. Florida, 463 U.S. 939 (1983); Enmund v. Florida, 458   

U.S. 782 (1982); Proffitt v. Wainwright, 685 F.2d 1227 (11th Cir.   

1982), on reh. 706 F.2d 311 (11th Cir. 1983); Washington v.   

Watkins, 655 F.2d 1346 (5th Cir. 1981); Prejean v. Blackburn, 570   

F. Supp. 985 (W.D. La. 1983); State v. McDowell, 310 N.C. 61, 310 

S.E. 2d 301 (1984); Brown, et al. v. Wainwright, 392 So.2d 1327 
    

(Fla. 1981). There are also countless other death cases in which 

I played a major role in the drafting of briefs, habeas corpus 

petitions and stay applications, but did not serve as counsel of 

record, e.g., Songer v. Wainwright, 769 F.2d 1488 (11th Cir. 
  

1985) (en banc); Hall v. Wainwright, 733 F.2d 766 (11th Cir. 
  

1984); Reddix v. Thigpen, 728 F.2d 705 (5th Cir. 1984); Dobbert   

 



  

v. Wainwright, 718 F.2d 1518 (11th Cir. 1983); Witt v. 
  

Wainwright, 714 F.2d 1069 (11th Cir. 1983); Williams v. Maggio,     

679 F.2d 381 (5th Cir. 1982); Ford v. Strickland, 675 F.2d 434   

(11th Cir. 1982); 696 F.2d 804 (11th Cir. 1983) (en banc); Palmes 

v. Wainwright, No. 82-583-Civ-J-M (M.D. Fla.); Jones v.     

Wainwright, 446 So.2d 1059 (Fla. 1984); and Knight v. Wainwright,     

394 So.2d 997 (Fla. 1981). In numerous other cases I served as a 

consultant on capital trials, direct appeals, clemency or post- 

conviction proceedings, editing briefs, stay papers, clemency 

memos or petitions for writ of certiorari, and researching and 

advising on the formulation of federal constitutional issues, 

e.g. Eddings v. Oklahoma, 455 U.S. 104 (1982); Goode Vv.   

Wainwright, 704 F.2d 593 (11th Cir. 1983); Zeigler v. Wainwright,     

473 So.2d 203 (Fla. 1985); Jacobs v. Wainwright, 450 So.2d 200   

(Fla. 1984); Demps v. Wainwright, 416 So.2d 808 (Fla. 1982). I   

edited a manual for clemency proceedings in Florida which was 

prepared under my supervision by Columbia Law School students, 

and assisted in the preparation of a manual on post-conviction 

proceedings in capital cases. 

1. In addition to my work in death penalty litigation, I 

have served as counsel in a variety of other cases, all of which 

involved issues related to civil rights, e.g., Martin v. Allain,   

No. J84-0708 (L) (S.D. Miss.) (voting rights suit involving at- 

large election of state court judges); Webb v. County Bd. of   

Educ. of Dyer County, 715 F.2d 254 (6th Cir. 1983) (attorneys' 
  

fees for state administrative work under 42 U.S.C. § 1988); Jones 

 



  

v. Hutto, No. PB-74-C-173 (E.D. Ark.) (employment discrimination 
  

class action by employees of the Arkansas Department of 

Corrections); Hubert v. Ward, No. C-C-80-414-M (W.D.N.C.) (North 
  

Carolina multi-institution prison conditions lawsuit); Small wv.   

artin, No. 85-987-CRT (E.D. N.C.) (multi-institution prison 

conditions lawsuit); Feamster v. Brierton, No. 79-132-CIV-J-C 
  

(M.D. Fla.) (Florida death row conditions lawsuit); Moran v.   

NARF, No.73-702-Civ.-J-S (M.D. Fla.) (employment discrimination 

class action by employees of Naval Air Rework Facility); Jenkins 

v. Missouri, 593 F. Supp. 1485 (W.D. Mo. 1984) (suit to   

desegregate the public schools of Kansas City, Missouri, and 

surrounding suburbs); United States v. Charleston County 
  

Consolidated School Board, No. 81-50-8 {D.S.C.) {suit to 
  

desegregate the public schools of Charleston County, South 

Carolina). 

8. I have served on the faculty of the National College 

for Criminal Defense at programs in Charleston, South Carolina 

and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and have spoken at similar programs 

presented by the National Legal Aid and Defender Association in 

Atlanta, Georgia and Boston, Massachusetts; by the Florida Public 

Defender Association in St. Augustine and Sarasota, Florida; and 

by a coalition of groups in Richmond, Virginia. I organized and 

spoke at a number of conferences co-sponsored by the Legal 

Defense Fund, the Southern Poverty Law Center and other 

organizations, in Warrenton, Virginia. I have been a trial 

practice seminar leader and appeared as a guest speaker at 

 



  

classes at several law schools, including Yale, Columbia, New 

York University and Hawaii. In 1982 I received the Nelson 

Poynter Award for my work in the defense of capital cases from 

the American Civil Liberties Union. 

9. My hourly rate is $135 per hour. I recently received 

$125 an hour for work performed between 1983 and 1985 (the bulk 

of which was in the summer and fall of 1984) on settlement of 

Hubert v. Ward, No. C-C-80-414-M (W.D.N.C.). Attached as   

Appendix A to this affidavit is a schedule of the hours I have 

spent on this case from my initial involvement in October, 1985 

to the present. These hours were compiled from contemporaneous 

time records which I maintained throughout this period. The 

Legal Defense Fund additionally requests compensation for 

attorney travel expenses in the sum of $199.00, paid by the 

Fund in this case. 

10. In addition to the hours listed in Appendix A, other 

attorneys employed by the Legal Defense Fund have reviewed 

documents filed in this case and have conferred with me from time 

to time concerning this case. These attorneys include Director- 

Counsel Julius L. Chambers, First Assistant Counsel Charles 

Stephen Ralston and Assistant Counsel C. Lani Guinier and Penda 

Hair. In order to provide a conservative statement of the time 

spent on this case and to eliminate any hours which might 

conceivably constitute a duplication of effort, the Legal Defense 

Fund is not requesting fees for the services of attorneys 

Chambers, Ralston, Guinier or Hair.

State of Alabama ) 

County of Montgomery ) 

I, Paola Gayle Maranan, being hereby sworn do depose and 
say: 

That from October 1, 1984 to September 30, 1986, 1 served as 
Project Coordinator of the Alabama Voting Rights Project, a 
project of the Civil Liberties Union of Alabama. 1 served as the statewide Project Coordinator throughout the Project's 
duration. The Project was - a coalition of attorneys, 
activists, professionals and educators committed to securing 
equal voting rights for all of Alabama's citizens by seeking 
enforcement of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 

That I am on voluntary leave of absence from Harvard and 
Radcliffe Colleges in Cambridge, Massachusetts where I am a 
student majoring in American Government. I lack one semester 
necessary to complete my B.A. degree. Since October 1, 1984 
I have worked full-time in the field of voting rights. 

That Melinda Guzman-Moore served as a legal intern to the 
Alabama Votng Rights Project during June and July of 1986. 
She 1s a second-year law student at Martin Luther King, Jr.
