    Mr. G. F. Ganucheau, Chief Deputy 
Clerk, United States Court of 
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit 
400 Royal Street - Room 408 
New Orleans, Louisiana 70130 

Dear Mr. Ganucheau: 

Re: Nos. 28030 and 28042 - United States v. 
Hinds County School Board, et al.: 
Beatrice Alexander, et al. v. Holmes 
County Board of Education, et al. 

  

  

  

  

Private plaintiffs in the above-referenced cases 
intend to petition the United States Supreme Court for 
a writ of certiorari to this court to review its order 
of August 28 which amended its earlier order of July 3. 

This letter will confirm my oral request made to 
you by telephone this date that a certified copy of all 
proceedings constituting the record on appeal in these 
cases be prepared by your office and forwarded to the 
office of the clerk of the Supreme Court in Washington. 
As I indicated by phone, such record should include the 
proceedings in the district court from which an appeal 
was taken eventuating in the order of July 3 as well as 
the subsequent proceedings resulting in the order of 
August 28. 

I appreciate the burden on your staff in compiling 
this record for transmission, but I hope it can be done 
as guickly as possible since private plaintiffs in these 
cases expect to petition the Supreme Court promptly in an 
effort to obtain a ruling prior to the opening of the 
court's regular term. 

I would appreciate it if you would inform me when 
the record is forwarded to the clerk of the Supreme Court. 

Thank you. 

Sincerely yours, 

Norman C. Amaker
