TOWN OF DAVISTON, ) (WO)

OPINION

This cause is now before the court on defendant Town

of Daviston’s motion to dismiss in which Daviston

represents that its current districting plan does not

make any changes in its district lines, and thus does not

require preclearance from the United States Department of

Justice. Daviston further represents that the plan

preserves the one majority-black district and does not

deviate substantially from one-person-one-vote standards.

Plaintiffs do not object to the dismissal of this

lawsuit, subject to Daviston’s agreement to pay

attorney’s fees of $500.00.

This lawsuit will therefore be dismissed. An

appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 18th day of May, 2005.
