ALAN V. PUGH, €t aI.,
Plaintiffs
vs.
JAMES B. HUNT, JR., €t a1.,
Defendants
NO. 81-r065-CrV-5
9E!88
Although the complaint in this action contains no direct
reference to a claim that the reapportionment plan questioned
by the plaintiffs discriminates against a minority political party,
the plaintiffs have indicated that they do intend to press such
a claim and to seek appropriate relief based thereon. Assuming
without deciding that such claim can be properly pleaded and proven
in this action, the court is of opinion that such claim should
not be litigated along with the racial discrimination claims con-
tained in this and the case with which it is consolidated for
trial on JuIy 25r 1983, Gingles, et aI. v. Edmisten, €t dI., and
accordingly it is now
ORDERED that the previous order of consolidation
of this case with the Gingles case is withdrawn and the trial
of this case with the Gingles case is continued. This order is
entered without prejudice to the right of the plaintiffs herein
to move to intervene in Ging1es, and, if allowed, to prosecute
