filed by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund
(MALDEF) to draw a supervisorial district with a majority of
citizens of Hispanic descent; and

appointed a committee to provide input on this important regional
issue; and

San Gabriel Valley and provides for a district which meets the
federal mandate for a Hispanic district.

five and seven districts which preserve regional
integrity and meet the federal mandate for a Hispanic
