The court has before it the Lawrence County Defendants’ 

motion for stay pending appeal. A telephone conference was con- 

ducted with counsel for Lawrence County and counsel for the 

Plaintiffs. Upon consideration of the pending motion, and in 
and by agreement of the parties, 

light of the matters discussed in the telephone conference,/ it is 
  

ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED as follows: 

1. The Lawrence County Defendants shall submit any addi- 

tional authority in support of their motion not later than Fri- 

day, December 19, 1986. 

2. The Plaintiffs shall respond, and submit any authori- 

ties in opposition to the motion, not later than December 31, 

1986, at which time the motion will be submitted for decision. 

3 In the event the court denies the motion for stay pend- 

ing appeal, the court will nevertheless grant a temporary stay of 

that aspect of its October 21, 1986 judgment and injunction which 

prohibited a chairperson elected at-large and required that the 

chairperson position be rotated among the associate commission- 

ers, with such temporary stay to remain in effect until such time

presented by the Lawrence County Defendants to the United States 

Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, and acted upon by the 

Eleventh Circuit. That is, should this court deny the motion, 

the Lawrence County Defendants will have the opportunity to 

present the matter to the Eleventh Circuit before the incumbent 

chairperson is required to relinquish office under the Court's 

October 21, 1986 judgment and injunction.
