FIFTH CIRCUIT 

  

EDWARD W. WADSWORTH OFFICE OF THE CLERK 600 CAMP STREET 
CLERK NEW ORLEANS, LA. 70130 

October 12,.1973 

TO ALL COUNSEL LISTED BELOW: 

No. 28030 and 23042 - USA v. Hinds County School Board. 

Gentlemen: 

The Court has asked that we advise you as follows: 

I. Paragraph numbered (4) of the proposed order sent 

you with our letter of September 12, 1973 is to be amended as 

follows so as to require service of the reports on counsel 

for plaintiffs and amicus curiae: 

(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 Summary Reports 

(Forms 101 and 102) which are filed annually with the 

Department of Health, Education and Welfare, are 

filed simultaneously with the district court and 

served upon counsel for plaintiffs and amicus curiae, 

and are retained for a period of two years by the 

district court for examination by counsel for the 

parties herein or amicus curiae. As an alternative 

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. 

II. Counsel for the respective school districts should 

file the order with the October 15, 1973 status report. The 

order must be approved as to form by counsel for plaintiffs and 

amicus curiae as may be the case. 

 



No. 28030 and 28042 -2- October 12, 1973 

  

Yours very truly, 

EDWARD W. WADSWORTH, Clerk
