       In the above-entitled cause, the Clerk will enter:

       Plaintiff Stowe Citizens for Responsible Government, Inc. appeals the
  superior court's summary  judgment ruling rejecting plaintiff's
  constitutional challenge to the Equal Educational Opportunity  Act of 1997
  ("Act 60").  Plaintiff contends that by relying on the discretion of voters
  in property-wealthy communities to provide additional tax revenue to
  supplement state funding for public  education, Act 60 unconstitutionally
  delegates legislative authority to those communities and fails  to satisfy
  the State's obligation to provide all Vermont schoolchildren a
  substantially equal  educational opportunity as established in Brigham v.
