—against- THREE JUDGE COURT CASE   

DAVID C. TREEN, etc., et al. CLASS ACTION   

JOINT MOTION AND ORDER 

On motion of the parties, it appearing that the hearing on 

plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction to delay qualifications for 

the elections scheduled for the Fall, 1982 for members of the United States 

Congress is unnecessary due to agreement of the parties, it further appearing 

  that the parties have agreed that if the United States Department of Justice 

accepts the plan of apportionment evidenced by Act 20 of the Extraordinary 

Session of the Louisiana Legislature, plaintiffs will not seek to enjoin 

qualifications on candidates under that plan, it further appearing that if 

the United States Department of Justice rejects said plan, the defendants 

will not oppose a motion to enjoin qualifications now set for July 5-9, 

1982 to avoid confusion of the electorate because no valid plan of apportion- 

ment would exist, 

[T IS ORDERED that the pretrial conference scheduled in this 

matter for June 24 and the hearing on plaintiffs' motion for preliminary 

injunction to delay the qualification period which hearing is scheduled 

for June 28, 1982 are both continued, to be reset by the parties, if necessary. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that nothing herein shall be deemed to be   
an admission by the parties as to the constitutionality of Act 20 and the 

defendants' pending motion for reconsideration of the partial summary judgment 

is not affected by this Order or by agreement of the parties. 

DATED: New Orleans, Louisiana, this day of June, 1982.
