Alexis I. Du Pont Sch. Dist. v. Evans, 439 U.S. 1375 (1978)

Alexis I. du Pont School District v. Evans


No. A-188


Decided September 8, 1978
439 U.S. 1375

ON REAPPLICATION FOR STAY

Syllabus

Reapplication to stay Court of Appeals’ judgment and mandate affirming District Court’s school desegregation order (see ante p. 1360) is denied. It appears unlikely that four Justices of this Court would vote to grant certiorari at this time to consider the liability issues decided below, and, although four Justices might grant certiorari to consider the scope of the District Court’s authority to grant such a drastic remedy as it did, the case is not presently at the certiorari stage, and a stay would be too disruptive, since school is to begin in three days.
