D. C. D. C. [Probable jurisdiction noted, 525 U. S. 1118 .] Cases restored to calendar for reargument.

(2) Assuming, arguendo, that § 5 prohibits the implementation of a districting plan enacted with a discriminatory, nonretrogressive purpose, does the government or the covered jurisdiction bear the burden of proof in this issue?
