BRENNAN, J., Concurring Opinion

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

489 U.S. 688

Board of Estimate of City of New York v. Morris

APPEAL FROM UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT

No. 87-1022 Argued: December 7, 1988 --- Decided: March 22, 1989 [*]

JUSTICE BRENNAN, with whom JUSTICE STEVENS joins, concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.

I agree with the opinion of the Court except insofar as it holds that the Court of Appeals should have taken the at-large members of the board into account in calculating the deviation from voter equality. For the reasons given by the Court of Appeals, I would exclude those members from this calculation.
