Re: Sherpell v. Humnoke

John Walker would like LDF to assume an active role in the
remedy phase of this litigation, now that the case is back in
district court as .a result of a favorable 8th Circuit ruling on
our Motion to Disniss the appeal. Please let me know your
thoughts/availability for continued participatS.on. In
particular, John contempLates filing a cont,empt motion against
the school board for harassment of his clients. In addition,
substantial evidentiary support needs to be developed for the
votlng rights claim. ./
