Vetterli v. United States Dist. Ct., 435 U.S. 1304 (1978)

Vetterli v. United States District Court


for the Central District of California
No. A-830 (77-1395)


Decided April 10, 1978
435 U.S. 1304

ON APPLICATION FOR STAY

Syllabus

Public school officials sought a stay, pending disposition of a motion for leave to file a petition for writ of mandamus and of a petition for writ of mandamus, of the District Court’s order allegedly issued in violation of this Court’s judgment in Pasadena City Board of Education v. Spangler, 427 U.S. 424, in that it had the effect of reimposing a desegregation plan requirement, held unauthorized by this Court, that there be no school in the system "with a majority of any minority students." There being no clear indication in the record that the order had such effect, it does not appear that five Members of this Court would vote to grant a writ of mandamus and the application for a stay is denied.
