ROBINSON v. COMMISSIONERS COURT, ANDERSON COUNTY

No. 74-1766.

505 F.2d 674 (1974)

Frank J. ROBINSON et al., Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. COMMISSIONERS COURT, ANDERSON COUNTY, and the Honorable N. R. Link, County Judge, Anderson County, Texas, Defendants-Appellants.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

December 23, 1974.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard Brooks Hardee, Tyler, Tex., Jerry L. Calhoon, Billy H. Gragg, Palestine, Tex., for defendants-appellants.

David R. Richards, Austin, Tex., for plaintiffs-appellees.

Before GOLDBERG, GODBOLD and MORGAN, Circuit Judges.

GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:

This case results from a gerrymander of precinct lines in Anderson County, Texas, to dilute the black vote in County Commissioner elections. Unfortunately, the disrespect of voting rights is not a recent innovation in county government in Texas. See generally, Graves v. Barnes, W.D.Tex.1972 (3 judge), 343 F.Supp. 704, aff'd in part sub nom. White v. Regester, 1973, 412 U.S. 755
