RE: Dillard, et al. v. Crenshaw County. et al. 

Dear Judge Brunson: 

We are the attorneys for the plaintiffs in this civil action 
pending in federal court in Montgomery. You, the county, the 
circuit clerk and the sheriff are defendants and should have been 
served by now with a summons and a copy of the amended 
complaint. Although we are addressing this letter to you, it is 
intended for all of these named defendants in your county. 

As soon as you have designated counsel to represent the 
defendants in your county, please let your lawyers know that we 
are anxious to communicate with them as quickly as possible to 
discuss the status of this litigation and any possibility of an 
early and cost-efficient settlement. 

Best regards. 

Sincerely, 

BLACKSHER, MENEFEE & STEIN, P.A. 

   
mes U. Blacksher
