Re: Chisom v. Edwards

Dear Bill:

Thanks for taking care of the notice of appeal.
ftm sending you a draft of our brief. Irve also sent
copies to Ron and Roy, and our appellate committee.

Please feel free to make changes, suggiestions,
etc. We should be able to get this and the record
excerpts into final form fast enough to be able to file
the brief along with a motion to expedite fairly soon
after we get a docket number.

I got a call from the Appellate Section of the
Civl1 Rights Division about possible amicus
participation (on our side). At around the same time,
however, I heard a rumor that Brad Reynolds may want to
go the other way. If they do, we can nail them with
their North Carollna brief, but Ir11 keep in touch
about this.
