Vecinos De Barrio Uno v. City of Holyoke C.A. No. 92-30052 MAP (D. Mass.) Successfully represented City of Holyoke in federal court in claim brought under Sections 2 and 203 of the Voting Rights Act. The First Circuits opinion in this case has become one of the leading opinions in Voting Rights Act jurisprudence. A three-week- bench trial resulted in finding the School Committee structure (seven district seats and two at-large seats) did not violate the statute but that the City Council structure (seven district seats and eight at-large seats) did. Vecinos De Barrio Uno v. City of Holyoke, 880 F. Supp. 911 (D. Mass. 1995) (Uno I). On appeal, the First Circuit vacated the judgment against the city on the City Council claim and remanded the claim to the district court. Vecinos De Barrio Uno v.
