The judges laid out an aggressive timetable to create a new map, ordering the state to ?enact a remedial plan consistent? with the court?s opinion by June 14. That plan and details of how the new map was determined must be submitted by June 21. The advocates who brought the suit will then have a week to object to the new map.

Friday?s ruling said that if necessary, the court could create its own map with the help of a special master. ]
