## Opinion text

ON PETITION FOR REHEARING ORDER
The Petition for Rehearing is denied. But the Court does wish to make clear that it did not mean to require earlier action with respect to pre1972 carry-over members than was allowable as to those elected under the 1972 plan. The “earliest possible time” need not be “immediate” and may be considered by the District Judge to be the same for each in order to continue the body in existence pending adoption of a new constitutional plan. The Court meant only that members elected under an impermissible plan may not be carried over (without re-election) into a new plan, regardless of the new plan’s acceptability, simply to provide “continuity”.
