ORDER 
  

Pursuant to the decision of the Supreme Court in Alexander 
  

v. Holmes County Board of Education, 1969, 396 U. 8.19, 80 S. Ct. 
  

29, 24 L. Ed. 2d 19, this Court has retained jurisdiction of the with- 

in captioned school cases pending the desegregation of each system. 

Subsequent to this decision of the Supreme Court, the follow- 

ing orders were entered by this Court with respect to The Enterprise 

Consolidated School District: 

(1) United States v. Hinds County School Board, 5 Cir., 
    

November 7, 1969, 423 F. 2d 1264 (The Enterprise Consolidated 

School District). 

Meanwhile the semi-annual status reports required by our 

decision in United States v. Hinds County School Board, 5 Cir., 1970, 
  

  

 



433 F. 2d 611, 618-19, have been filed through and including 

  

October 15, 1973. 

It now appearing that The Enterprise Consolidated School 

District school system has been and is being maintained as a 

unitary school system in compliance with the aforesaid orders, 

and it further appearing that it would be le he to transfer 

jurisdiction of the case to the district court under a final order 

there to be entered as follows, it is ORDERED: 

(1) Jurisdiction of No. 1302(E), Charles Killingsworth, 
  

et al., v. The Enterprise Consolidated School District, et al., 
  

is hereby transferred to the United States District Court for the 

Southern District of Misstabidis, 

(2) Saic case may be placed on the inactive docket of that 

court subject to being reopened for good cause shown on the ap- 

plication of any party, or intervenor, or sua sponte; 
  

(3) The aforesaid orders entered by this Court shall be 

considered as the mandate of this Court and are to be made the 

order of the district court; 

(4) The reports required by United States v. Hinds County 
    

School Board, 433 F. 2d 618-19, supra, may be discontinued in the 
  

event copies of the Summary Reports (Forms 101 and 102) which 

are filed annually with the Department of Health, Education and 

Welfare, along with a report showing faculty and staff assignments 

as required in the Hinds County type of report and faculty and staff 
  

hiring by race if such information is not reflected in the HEW Sum- 

mary Report, are filed simultaneously with the district court and 

served upon counsel for plaintiffs and amicus curiae, and are re- 

tained for a period of two years by the district court for examination 

by counsel for the parties herein or amicus curiae. As an alterna- 

tive to filing the HEW reports, the defendant school districts may 

 



  

continue to file the Hinds County type of report but on an annual 
  

basis not later than November 15 to reflect status as of October 

15 each year. 

IT IS ORDERED THIS15th day of May, 1974.
