William J. Waggoner (Waggoner, Hasty and Kratt, on brief)

PER CURIAM: 

The district court required the modification 

of an amended "feeder plan" for pupil assignment proposed 

by the school board as a revision to the court order ap- 

proved in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Educa- 

tion, U.S, 11971), and, as modified, author- 

ized it to be put into effect.” We do not think that the 

district court exceeded its equity powers or abused its 

discretion in approving the plan or in requiring the 

modifications thereto.
