AFFIDAVIT OF LOWELL JOHNSTON 
IN SUPPORT OF REQUEST FOR 

ADJOURNMENT OF ORAL ARGUMENT

STATE OF NEW YORK
) SS. :

COUNTY OF NEW YORK )

LOWELL JOHNSTON, being duly sworn deposes and says:
1. This affidavit is submitted on behalf of Steven L. 

Winter, attorney of record in this matter, in support of a 
request for an adjournment of the oral argument now set for 
Monday, November 1, 1982. Mr. Winter and the undersigned 
are colleagues on the legal staff of the NAACP Legal Defense 
& Educational Fund, Inc. at Suite 2030, 10 Columbus Circle,



New York, New York 10019.
2. On about October 10, 1982, Mr. Winter left the 

United States for a vacation of thirty (30) days in Italy.
His whereabouts during this period are unknown to us, and 
unknown to anyone available to us.

3. Mr. Walter L. Bailey is co-counsel with Mr. Winter 
in this case, but was not involved in the preparation of this 
appeal. The issues in this appeal are complex and involve 
matters of first impression in this Court.

4. The undersigned counsel has conferred with Mr. Henry 
Klein and has been informed by Mr. Klein that he does not 
oppose an adjournment of the oral argument in this case. In 
fact, Mr. Klein stated that he is about to resume a trial in 
Memphis which will continue at least through November 1, 1982.
If the argument date is to be reset by this Court, he requested 
it not be scheduled for the second or third week of March, 
when he has present plans to be out of the country on a similar 
vacation.

WHEREFORE, the undersigned counsel respectfully requests 
an adjournment of the oral argument in this appeal now scheduled 
for Monday, November 1, 1982.
