MOTION FOR IMMEDIATE ISSUANCE OF MANDATE 
  

Appellants, pursuant to Rule 59(2) and (3), re- 

spectfully move this Court for an order directing the clerk 

of the Court to forthwith issue the judgment (and mandate): 

1, June 25, 1973 the Court unanimously held Mis~- 

sissippi's textbook loan and distribution statute unconsti~ 

tutional to the extent that it permitted the distribution 

of textbooks to private schools which had a policy or prac 

tice of racial discrimination. 

2, The private racially discriminatory academies 

of Mississippi have been receiving textbooks since their in=- 

ception in violation of the Equal Protection Clause; such 

unlawful aid will continue through the 1973-74 school year 

unless this Court forthwith issues judgment and remands the 

case to the district court wherein this Court's decision 

can be implemented. 

3. Unless this Court's judgment (mandate) issues 

forthwith it is entirely likely that relief effective for 

the 19/3-74 school year will be impossible. 

 



  

FA 

ment is forthwith entered: a 

filed and considered in this 

mence in the district 

order 

forthwith.
