Morrissey expected to issue a ruling Tuesday on a preliminary David injunction sought by Rep. Curtis, -Charlotte, that would order state Republican officials to include name as a candidate for attorney general when they release information about the candidacy of his opponent, Rep. John Meaker, R- Waterbury. If a ruling is not handed down by noon, the temporary restraining order in effect for two weeks against GOP State Chairman Walter L.

Kennedy of Chelsea and Executive Director John M. Wu of Ludlow will expire. The restraining order, granted July 21 by Morrissey directed Kennedy and Wu to include Curtis's name when distributing publicity about state GOP candidates and to include Curtis in party activity and other benefits afforded other Republican officeseekers. Curtis has incurred the wrath of the party leaders because he filed for the attorney general's post on both the Republican and Democratic labels. He cross -filed when running for the state Legislature, but has been considered a Republican.

Curtis, in the suit filed in Chittenden County CRourt, claimed in effect that he was being blackballed by the two party leaders because they disapproved of his cross -filing. Curtis said Kennedy and Wu left his name off lists of GOP state candidates distributed to the media and to town committees, and has been left out of invitations to make appearances and interviews for that reason. Curtis wants a restraining order issued.
