NOTE: In an order entered on March 23, 1992, the United States District Court for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan held in Good v. Austin, No. 91-CV-74754DT that Michigan's current congressional districts violated art I, sec 2 of the United States Constitution and that the court was obligated to adopt a new congressional district plan for the State of Michigan. The court further held that it would not adopt any of the proposed districting plans submitted by the parties but would adopt a plan of its own design. The court's plan was attached to the order, and the parties were directed to show cause, in writing, not later than 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 1, 1992, why the court's redistricting plan should not be adopted by the court and incorporated in a final judgment.

The April 1st deadline passed, and none of the parties had filed written objections to the court's plan. The court, on April 6, 1992, ordered that:

1) The existing United States Congressional Districts of the State of Michigan, established by order of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in Agerstrand v. Austin, No. 81-40256 (E.D. Mich. May 20, 1982), are unconstitutional under art I, sec 2 of the United States Constitution because they contain substantially unequal population as reflected in the 1990 U.S. Decennial Census, and because it is necessary to reduce the number of congressional districts in Michigan from eighteen to sixteen;

2) The defendant, Richard H. Austin, Secretary of State of Michigan, and, under applicable Michigan law, its chief election officer, and all election officials who are responsible for conducting congressional elections in Michigan are enjoined from conducting any primary, general, or special elections for the office of Representative to the United States Congress by use of the 1982 district plan described above;

3) The United States Congressional Districts created by the redistricting plan attached to this order, entitled "1992 Congressional Districts--U.S. House of Representatives" and including the erratum dated April 3, 1992, are adopted as the United States Congressional Districts for the State of Michigan;

4) The defendant, Richard H. Austin, Secretary of State of Michigan, and, under applicable Michigan law, its chief election officer, and all election officials who are responsible for conducting congressional elections in Michigan are directed to conduct all primary, general, and special elections for the office of Representative to the United States Congress from this day forward in accordance with this judgment and the congressional districts created by it; and

5) The opinion of the court in support of this judgment will be filed at a later date.
