Description
BELL, Circuit Judge: This is the tenth appeal to this court arising out of the Mobile school desegregation case.1 In addition, Mobile XI and XII are pending. Fortunately these appeals do not involve the student assignment problem. This problem was resolved on July 9, 1971 in a consent order incorporating ""A Comprehensive Plan for a Unitary School System"", formulated by the parties. This consent order was entered after the reversal by the Supreme Court in Davis v. Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County, 1971, 402 U.S. 33, 91 S. Ct. 1289, 28 L. Ed. 2d 577, of Mobile IX. The litigation is now reduced to controversies over the location of one particular school building (this case -- Mobile X); matters having to do with faculty assignment and tenure (Mobile XI); and a claim for attorneys' fees (Mobile XII).
