¶1 
PER 
CURIAM.   On 
December 
29, 
1999, 
this 
court 
enjoined the Employee Trust Funds Board, the Department of 
Employee Trust Funds, and Eric Stanchfield, Secretary of the 
Department of Employee Trust Funds, as well as all petitioners 
and respondents in this matter, from implementing or enforcing 
1999 Wisconsin Act 11 and 1999 Wisconsin Act 12 until further 
order of this court.  The court thereafter granted leave to 
commence an original action.  The original action was briefed by 
the parties and argued before this court on October 4, 2000. 
¶2 
On December 20, 2000, respondents Wisconsin Education 
Association Council et al. (WEAC) moved this court for relief 
pending final disposition of the appeal.  Specifically, WEAC 
asked this court to dissolve the preliminary injunction with 
respect to four sections of 1999 Wisconsin Act 11, namely, 
Sections 12, 14, 25, and 26. 
¶3 
On December 23, 2000, this court ordered petitioners 
Wisconsin Professional Police Association, Inc. et al. and State 
Engineering Association et al. and respondents George Lightbourn 
et al. to respond to the WEAC motion by noon on December 27, 
2000.  They have done so, and objections have been set forth to 
each aspect of WEAC's motion. 
¶4 
We have carefully examined the motion for interim 
relief and the responses thereto, as well as the additional 
filing by WEAC, and we deny the motion.  The moving party has 
not established grounds for granting the motion. 
By the Court.The motion is denied.
