Stephenson v. Bartlett

Summary

The North Carolina Supreme Court enjoined the scheduled 7 May 2002 legislative primary elections while reviewing a trial court ruling that North Carolina's 2001 legislative redistricting plans violated the state Constitution. The injunction remained in effect until further order and did not preclude the General Assembly from rescheduling primaries for other offices.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the Supreme Court should enjoin the scheduled legislative primary elections while an expedited appeal concerning the constitutionality of the legislative redistricting plans remained pending.
