Special Master Appointment in Navajo Nation v. San Juan County
On September 29, 2017, the Court in Navajo Nation v. San Juan County issued an order appointing Dr. Bernard Grofman, University of California, Irvine, to serve as Special Master and oversee redistricting of the County’s School Board and Commission election districts (past and current districting plans were found to have violated the Equal Protection Clause in three previous decisions). The Court also ordered San Juan County to pay the costs associated with the Special Master process. The Court laid out a remedial redistricting process that will allow it to establish new remedial redistricting plans by December, 2017, in time for the 2018 election cycle.

Here is the order in Navajo Nation v. San Juan County (D. Utah):
An excerpt:
For the reasons below, San Juan County’s remedial plans fail to pass constitutional muster. Specifically, the court concludes race was the predominant factor in the development of District 3 of the School Board plan and Districts 1 and 2 of the County Commission plan. The County’s consideration of race requires strict scrutiny analysis of these districts. The court concludes the County has failed to satisfy strict scrutiny and, therefore, these districts are unconstitutional. The court will not adopt the County’s plans.
