PRE-TRIAL MEMORANDUM (RULE 16 F.R.Civ.P.)
August 25, 1965
CAMPBELL, Chief Judge.
Let the record herein show, that subsequent to the order of the Supreme Court of Illinois in People ex rel. Engle v. Kerner et al., 210 N.E.2d 165, dated July 29, 1965, and recognizing that the Supreme Court of Illinois wisely gave the two opposing factions of the State Electoral Board a final opportunity to settle in an orderly fashion the longstanding Illinois reapportionment controversy — I requested counsel for said factions to confer with me in pre-trial conference. Both counsel kindly complied and agreed that the public interest would best be served by an early end to the Illinois Senate reapportionment conflict. Both counsel also agreed to endeavor, with my assistance, to stipulate to a fair and equitable reapportionment of the Illinois Senate in accordance with the principle of “one man, one vote” and the provisions of Illinois law.
Counsel have since conferred with each other and with the respective parties they represent, and many further pre-trial conferences were held before me with the knowledge and approval of the Illinois Supreme Court up to and including August 19, 1965. On that date counsel appeared and advised that, although much agreement had been reached, they were unable fully to resolve their few remaining differences and thus could not stipulate to any senatorial reapportionment map.
During the course of our many meetings and by the time the negotiations between the parties reached this impasse, counsel for both factions had submitted a number of proposed reapportionment plans, with accompanying population data and other relevant information. All of this material was examined by me and members of the Illinois Supreme Court and after further consultation with counsel, a senatorial reapportionment plan has been prepared upon the basis of the aforesaid preliminary agreement. A copy is attached hereto with maps, legal descriptions and population totals for proposed senatorial districts according to the 1960 census.
It is my considered opinion that this plan is a just, equitable, and constitutional reapportionment of the Illinois Senate; I also believe that the plan constitutes a fair compromise between the divergent proposals submitted by the parties. Accordingly I hereby file this Memorandum herein and the Clerk is instructed to submit a copy of this Memorandum and the attached plan to the Illinois Supreme Court.
The aforesaid plan and attachments have been submitted to the other members of the panel of this court (Sehnack-enberg, C. J., presiding and Austin, D. J.) and they concur in what I have done herein. In order to dispose of this matter a hearing will be held by this Court upon notice to all counsel of record.
PER CURIAM.
By order dated June 8,1965, this Court established September 10, 1965 (there*143after extended to October 4, 1965), as a reasonable date by which the appropriate agencies of the State of Illinois should validly reapportion the Illinois State Senate, pursuant to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States announced on June 1, 1965, in this cause, 381 U.S. 407, 85 S.Ct. 1525, 14 L.Ed.2d 477. Thereafter, the 74th Illinois General Assembly adjourned on June 30, 1965, without having reapportioned the Illinois Senate. Then on July 30, 1965, the Supreme Court of Illinois in the cause known as People ex rel. Engle v. Kerner, 210 N.E.2d 165, ordered the parties to confer with each other in an attempt to reconcile their conflicting views and present an agreed plan for a valid reapportionment of the Illinois Senate.
Subsequently this Court (per Campbell, J.), with the knowledge and approval of the Supreme Court of Illinois, conducted numerous and extensive pretrial conferences in an effort to obtain agreement among the members of the Illinois Electoral Board as to a constitutionally valid reapportionment of the Illinois Senate. Although complete agreement did not result, substantial progress was achieved; on August 25, 1965, the pretrial conferences culminated in the entry in this cause of a Pretrial Memorandum attaching and incorporating a provisional senatorial reapportionment plan (including maps, legal descriptions and population data).
The said reapportionment plan was. based upon the areas of agreement reached by the parties; district boundaries were drawn by the Court in the instances where the parties could not agree. The Pretrial Memorandum was concurred in by all the members of this Court, and was transmitted forthwith to the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Illinois.
On September 9, 1965, the Supreme Court of Illinois issued its opinion and decision in People ex rel. Engle v. Kerner, supra, fully approving and adopting the provisional senatorial reapportionment plan attached to and incorporated in this Court’s Pretrial Memorandum Ill., 210 N.E.2d 165. The Clerk of the Supreme Court of Illinois has now transmitted that Court’s opinion and the accompanying reapportionment plan to the Clerk of this Court and it has been filed in this cause.
Pursuant to the Pretrial Memorandum of August 25, 1965, it is hereby ordered that a rule be and the same is hereby entered upon all parties herein to show cause, if any, and in writing within ten (10) days as to why the senatorial reapportionment plan (attached to the Pretrial Memorandum of August 25, 1965 and to the Opinion of the Supreme Court of Illinois of September 9, 1965) is not constitutional and to further show cause, if any, as to why this Court should not now enter a final order finding said plan constitutional.
JUDGMENT
Pursuant to the rule entered by this Court on September 29, 1965, the Court has received the written suggestions of the parties hereto and finds that the reapportionment plan for the Illinois Senate embodied in this Court’s Pretrial Memorandum of August 25, 1965 (subsequently approved and adopted by the Supreme Court of Illinois on September 9, 1965) is in compliance with the federal constitutional principle of “one man one - vote”. (U.S.Const., Amendment XIV; Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533, 84 S.Ct. 1362, 12 L.Ed.2d 506; Lucas v. Forty-Fourth General Assembly of Colorado, 377 U.S. 713, 84 S.Ct. 1459, 12 L.Ed.2d 632. The Court accordingly finds that approval of the said reapportionment plan will fully comply with the Mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States in this cause (381 U.S. 407, 85 S.Ct. 1525, 14 L.Ed.2d 477) and will dispose of this action upon its merits.
Due notice heretofore having been given to all parties and all parties having been heard upon said plan, it is hereby ordered, adjudged and decreed that the reapportionment plan for the Illinois State Senate attached to and incorporated in this Court’s Pretrial Memorandum of August 25, 1965, as approved and *144adopted by the Supreme Court of Illinois on September 9, 1965, be and the same is hereby declared to be in accordance with the federal law, and the same is hereby also declared to be the senatorial map for the State of Illinois for the election of Illinois State Senators in 1966 and thereafter, until the Illinois State Senate is redistricted in accordance with law.
