Dear Judge Woodward:
Thl:;! undersigned attorneys representinq t.he Plaintiff ..
join in
the request of the Intervenor to continu~ the abOve cause frca
the March docket. For the reasons stated in Lane Arthur·. letter
to the Cout"t da.ted Januat')' 25,. 1978, it is apparent t.hat t.he
preparation for trial and the trial of this cause will be affeeted
and guided hy the decision of the Supreme Court in Wise v. Lipscomb
And that trial of this cause prior to the d@cislon of the Suprea.
Court 'Would be impractical for all concerned.
We have conferred and her~bY waive any rem dies that eould be
ordered by the Court prior to the upcominq city elections.
