Hon. Michael Rodak 

Clerk 

United States Supreme Court 
Washington, D.C. 

Re: City of Mobile v. Bolden 
No. 77-1844 
  

Dear Mr. Rodak: 

I would like to request that the date for 
filing the Brief for Appellees in the above 
case, now December 20, 1978, be extended to 

January 16, 1979. 

This ‘case will be argued in February 
together with Williams v. Brown, No. 78-357. 
In Williams the brief for Appellants is due 
on December 14, 1978; allowing for mailing 
the Appellees' brief in that case would be 
due on about January 16, 1979. Our office 
represents the Appellees in both these cases, 
which present closely related issues, and we 
would like an opportunity to study the Appellants’ 
brief in Williams before responding in Bolden. 
In addition, I am personally responsible for 
two other cases in which we anticipate filing 
Petitions for Certiorari prior to Christmas. 

  

  

  

Because of the schedule in Williams, 
granting the requested extension in Bolden 
will in no way affect the date on which Bolden 
will be argued.
