Description
This Court has before it for consideration the Joint Motion for Entry of Stipulation filed by the parties herein, the United States of America and the Port Arthur Independent School District, in connection with which they advise that they ""have agreed to resolve their litigation by entry of the stipulation attached"" and request this Court ""to vacate the district court's judgment and order here on appeal, and remand this action with directions to implement the stipulation entered by the parties.""1 This litigation commenced with an action filed in the Tyler Division of the Eastern District of Texas by the United States on August 7, 1970, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2000c-6 and the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, against the Texas Education Agency and several school districts and their superintendents, including the Port Arthur Independent School District (PAISD) and its Superintendent. On August 14, 1970, the action against the PAISD and its Superintendent was severed into a separate suit, and was transferred on change of venue to the Beaumont Division. Following hearing of the severed suit in the Beaumont Division, the district court on September 15, 1970 issued an order requiring the PAISD ""to develop and maintain a unitary school system."" This order further required the PAISD to ""immediately implement"" a student attendance desegregation plan, the details of which were specified in the order; to have the black and white teacher and staff ratio at each school ""substantially the same"" as for the district as a whole, and to follow certain other specifications regarding faculty and staff; and to conduct all future school construction, consolidation, and site selection ""in a manner which will prevent the recurrence of the dual school system structure once this desegregation plan is implemented."" The order specifies that ""this plan shall be put into effect on September 21, 1970,"" and concludes by stating ""this Court shall retain jurisdiction of this cause."" No party appealed the order.
