Re: Dillard, et al. v. Crenshaw County, Alabama, 
et 'al., Civil Action No. CV 85~-1-3332-N 
  

Dear Judge Thompson: 

Today plaintiffs filed a brief on the remedial issues. 
Enclosed is an additional bench copy. In light of recent 
correspondence from the defendant counties, I have serious doubts 
that Lawrence and Pickens Counties will be able to comply with 
holding elections according to the schedule agreed to in the 
stipulation signed by the parties. Therefore, I suggest that 
once Your Honor is able to address the remaining issues and issue 
an opinion, the parties should be instructed to attend a 
conference with the court at which time defendants can inform the 
plaintiffs and the court of the preparations they have made and 
Will need to make in order to hold elections according to the 
plan approved by the court. 

Best regards. 

Sincerely, 

BLACKSHER, MENEFEE & STEIN
