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

Dear Mr. Ganucheau: 

I am writing with regard to appellees' motion for 
extension of time within which to file their brief. As 
I told your office on the telephone today, appellants 
do not oppose this motion. 

We note, however, that the motion is open-ended 
with regard to the amount of time requested. In 
determining the appropriate extension, we ask that the 
Court keep in mind the fact that appellees have already 
received an extension of nearly one month and the 
nature of this case, which challenges an electoral 
scheme which is scheduled to be used in 1988. We also 
ask that the Court make clear that it will not 
entertain any further requests by appellees for 
extension of time.
