Heading: The Plaintiffs' Reply Memorandum

Text: In their reply memorandum, filed February 14, 1997, the plaintiffs concede that they cannot provide conclusive `evidence' of the extent to which voting irregularities occurred in the November 5, 1996 election. Instead, they argue that they need, but have been denied, OHA voting lists and elections files that are in the custody and control of Mr. Yoshina. The plaintiffs contend that, if these materials could be delved into, Mr. Yoshina [would be] ... entirely capable of providing evidence to dispel any appearances of irregularities and to demonstrate to the Plaintiffs, the Court, and a concerned community that the most recent OHA elections were fairly, impartially, and properly conducted in accordance with applicable standards[.] Accordingly, the plaintiffs request additional time to conduct discovery and a further formal inquiry.
