MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AMICI CURIAE 
MEMORANDUM AND MEMORANDUM OF AMICI CURIAE IN 
SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO RECONSIDER 

Amici curiae Alfred Smallwood, et al., whose unopposed motion for intervention 

has been pending since July 11, 1996, request that the court permit them to file this 

memorandum to make the following two points. 

1. Defendants’ Motion to Reconsider Stay, if granted, would substantially 

reduce the disruption to North Carolina’s election process occasioned by the court’s 

injunction. One half of state would be freed from the order. More significantly, only two 

of the eight scheduled congressional primaries would be cancelled. There is a Republican 

primary scheduled in the 12™ CD; there is a Democratic primary scheduled in the 9" CD, 

There are no primaries scheduled for the 8" CD, 10" CD, 5" CD or 6" CD. (Two 

Democrats initially filed in the 8" CD, but one later withdrew.) On the other hand, six 

primaries could be held as scheduled: Democratic primaries in the First, Third, Fourth 

and Seventh Districts; and Republican primaries in the First and Second.
