IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the Court retains jurisdiction of this case for the limited purpose of appropriately disposing of such ancillary matters, not going to the merits of the case, as costs, attorneys fees, appropriate action as to those precincts which have been divided by this Order, and the like.
Our purpose is to enter a final judgment on the merits in this legislation in order that any party wishing to do so may promptly appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States as per its most recent Order in this case.
