    JuIy L4, L987

Hon. Gilbert F. Ganucheau
Clerk
United States Court of Appeals
for the fifth Circuit
600 Camp Street
New Orleans, LA 70130

Re: No. 87-3463, Chisom v. Edwards

Dear Mr. Ganucheau:

On July 10, L987, the Court of Appeals remanded this case to
the district court (8.D. L€1.7 Charles Schwartz, Jr., J.) for the
linited purpose of allowing that court to amend its written
opinion of May 1, L987. Appellants received a copy of the
district court's subsequent order amending its opinion and a copy
of the amended opinion on July L4, L987.

Appellants had, hohrever, already filed our brief and record
excerpts. We mailed the brief and record excerpts to your office
on July 9, L987, and they were apparently received on JuIy 13,
L987.

Appellants do not believe that the district courtrs
amendment changes the thrust of our arg'uments, although it
renders unnecessar-y the discussion on pages 18-20 of our brief of
why the district court erred in concluding that Wells v. Edwards,
347 F. Supp. 453 (M.D. La. L973) (three-judge court), affrd, 409
U:S. 1095 (L974) (per curiam), construed section 2 of the Voting
Rights Act. Particularly in light of the fact that we have moved
to expedite this appealr w€ see no need to amend the substance of
our brief.

We do, however, recognize, that the opinion of the district
court contained in the Record Excerpts at pages 5-16 has been
superseded by the amended opinj.on. We therefore ask your
guidance regardi.ng how best to proceed so that the court will
have before it the current version of the district courtrs
opinion and will not be confused by references in our brief.

Respectfullv.

A"JStG't*

Counsel for Appellants
