SACRAMENTO (AP) - Supporters of a ballot measure aimed at redrawing congressional and legislative districts filed an appeal Monday and were granted a temporary suspension of a lower court ruling that ordered Proposition 77 off the ballot.

Although not unexpected, the ruling allows the measure to be included in a public display of all the measures qualified for the Nov. 8 special election. Officials said the display is a largely procedural action intended to give counties official notice of what measures will be on the ballot.

There is no word yet on when the case will come before the court but Mundell (Bill Mundell, chairman of Californians for Fair Redistricting) said he believed it would be this week.
