Plaintiffs respectfully inform the Court that, in light of this case’s procedural posture and
plaintiffs’ desire to avoid any further delay in consideration by the Supreme Court of the appeal
thereto by defendants and defendant-intervenors, and also in light of the carefully considered
judgment entered by this Court which found that race predominated in the formation of the First
District, plaintiffs have decided not to file a jurisdictional statement or to perfect a cross-appeal.
Therefore, they have no objection to defendants’ motion and join therein.
