CLIFF FINCH, GOVERNOR, ET AL, Defendants 

FINAL JUDGMENT UNDER RULE 58, 

FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 
  

Upon receipt of the mandate issued on December 13, 1977, 

by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, dis-~ 

missing the appeal from our prior order of March 2, 1976, allow- 

ing attorney fees on the ground that said order was interlocutory 

and hence nonappealable, and upon inspection of the jacket file, 

and the court having concluded that the case is ripe for final 

disposition, that further delay in the allowance of attorney fees 

is contrary to the publi¢ interest and to the principles of 

justice and equity, and the court being of the firm opinion that 

the plaintiffs are entitled to an award of counsel fees in the 

sum hereinafter fixed,for the reasons cited in our prior published 

opinion, Norwood v. Harrison, 410 F. Supp. 133 (1976), which hold- 

ing was bottomed upon § 718 of the Emergency School Act of 1972, 

20 USC § 1617, a holding which we now reaffirm, as well as 

declaring an alternative ground for allowing said award is based 

upon the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Awards Act of 1976, Pub. Law 

94-559, enacted October 19, 1976, 42 USC § 1988, it is ordered 

sua sponte as follows: 

That the members of the plaintiff class represented by 

Delores Norwood through her father Calvin Norwood, Van Siggers 

by his mother Floy Gates Siggers, Audrey Shanda Woodard by her 

father Henry King Woodard, and Andrew Galloway by his mother 

Gertrude Galloway, do have of and recover from the Honorable

issippi State Textbook Purchasing Board, W. A. Matthews, Executive 

Secretary of the Mississippi State Textbook Purchasing Board, and 

Larry Tynes, T. M, Stone and Mrs. Jane McCool, members of the 

Mississippi State Textbook Purchasing Board, in their official

$23,852 as attorney fees payable to plaintiffs! counsel, Honorable 

Melvyn R. Leventhal, in the amount of $22,102, Honorable James M. 

Nabrit III, $1,750, and the additional sum of $4,999.44 taxed as. 

reasonable and necessary costs incurred by the plaintiffs in the 

successful prosecution of this suit. 

For which let execution issue forthwith, and the clerk 

of this court is hereby directed to forward a certified copy of 

this judgment to all defendants hereinabove named, as well as to 

counsel of record for both the defendants and the plaintiff class.
