#134 is plaintiffs complaining about the tactics the defendants are using that amounts to duplicative depositions and outright harassment of the plaintinffs and their witnesses.
#136 is the plaintiffs playing tit-for-tat, Chicago style, in compelling the depositions for all 50 aldermen who had any part in or voted for the new revised ordnances.
#138 is simply telling the appeals court what the heck is going on, at the district court, by supplementing the record (perhaps for later use at appeals?).
This bit of activity would appear to be aimed at forcing Judge Kendall's hand.
