Re: Bradley et al. v. Milliken et al.
CA No. 35257

Dear M r. Lucas:

I am today in receipt of your letter of October 25, 1971, in 
which you requested certain information to be included in our report 
to the Court on the Magnet School Plan.

Even were your request appropriate, the time strictures under 
which we have been operating make it absolutely impossible to comply 
with your request and still meet the reported deadline set by the Court.

Very truly yours,

GEBjr ccg

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

Dear Judge Roth:
Enclosed please find a motion pertaining to the

report on the Magnet School Plan which defendant Board is 
required to file by November 3, 1971.

Because time is so short, because the facts as
evidenced by the correspondence attached to the motion cannot 
be disputed, and because plaintiffs will have only ten days 
after the filing of the report within which to file a response, 
plaintiffs request that the Court rule on the motion at its 
earliest convenience and without a hearing. We have also 
enclosed a proposed order.

We have exhausted all non-judicial avenues to
obtain the information we request, and we regret having to 
take this matter up with the Court.
