MEMORANDUM TO COUNSEL OR PARTIES LISTED BELOW:
No. 76-1207 - HENRY, ET AL, VS. CLARKSDALE MUNICIPAL
SEPARATE SCHOOL DISTRICT, ET AL.
Dear Counsel:
Enclosed is a copy of the Court's opinion this day rendered in the above
case, A judgment has this day been entered in accordance therewith
pursuant to Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
Rules 39, 40 and 41, F.R.A.P., govern costs, petitions for rehearing and
mandates, respectively. A petition for rehearing must be filed in the
Clerk's Office within 14 days from this date, Placing the petition in
the mail on the 14th day will not suffice.
Local Rule 15 provides that "A motion for a stay of the issuance of a
mandate in a direct criminal appeal filed under F.R.A.P. Rule 41 shall
not be granted simply upon request. Unless the petition sets forth good
cause for stay or clearly demonstrates that a substantial question is to
be presented to the Supreme Court, the motion shall be denied and the
mandate thereafter issued forthwith."
If you are court-appointed counsel, your attention is called to Local
Rule 7 which provides: "Appointed counsel shall, in the event of
affirmance or other decision adverse to the party represented, promptly
advise him in writing of his right to seek further review by the filing
of a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court, and shall
file such petition, if requested by such party in writing to do so."
Very truly yours,
EDWARD W. WADSWORTH, Clerk
