The defendants in the above-styled and numbered cause, 

by and through their attorneys, hereby move the Court to 

dissolve all outstanding court orders under which the Amite 

County School District has been operating and to dismiss and 

terminate this cause, and in support thereof would show unto 

the Court the following: 

1. 

On or about August 9, 1966, United States of America 

filed suit against the defendants seeking the disestablishment 

of a racially segregated school system. Pursuant to orders 

 



  

of this Court and orders of the United States Court of 

Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the Amite County School 

District has maintained a unitary school system for over 

sixteen (16) years and, with respect to student assignment, 

seven (7) years. The orders in effect are United States v.   

Hinds County School Board (United States v. Amite County 
  

School District), 423 F.24 1264 (5th Cir. 1969), as modified   

by order of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals dated December 

10, 1969; United States v, Amite County School District, 560 
  

F.24 (5h Car. 1977); and order of this Court entered October 

19,:1977.

has operated a unitary school system and has complied with 

all desegregation directives and orders of the United States 

District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi and 

United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The 

Anite County School District has submitted semi-annual 

reports to this Court and to Amicus Curiae. 

3. 

The Amite County School District has achieved a unitary 

school system with respect to faculty, staff, transportation, 

extracurricular activities, facilities and composition of 

student body. It is in the best interests of the students 

and employees of the Amite County School District, as well 

 



  

as other citizens within the district, that this action be 

dismissed and finally terminated on the docket of this 

Court. 

WHEREFORE, the defendants move the Court to enter an 

order adjudicating the following: 

1. That the Amite County School District has operated 

as a unitary school system since 1978; 

2. The Amite County School District has complied with 

all desegregation directives and orders of the United States 

District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi and 

of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit; 

3. All outstanding decrees and orders are dissolved; 

4, Civil Action No. 3983(L) shall be finally dismissed 

and terminated on the docket of this Court; and 

5. For such other, further relief as this Court may 

deem proper under the circumstances. 

This the QW day Of February, 1985.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI 

JACKSON DIVISION 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, by 

WILLIAM FRENCH SMITH, Attorney 
General of the United States, 
NAACP LEGAL DEFENSE AND 

EDUCATIONAL FUND PLAINTIFFS 

VS. CIVIL ACTION NO. 3983 

AMITE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT; 
MAURICE E. FOREMAN, Superintendent 
of Education, Amite County School 
District; J. H. SMITH, L. W. GRAVES, 
DOUGLAS STEWART, CURTIS BISHOP, and 

REBECCA ROBERTSON, Trustees, Amite 
County School District DEFENDANTS 

BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF 

MOTION TO DISMISS 
  

By the instant motion, the Amite County School District, 

the Amite County School Superintendent, and the Amite County 

School District Board of Trustees are seeking to dissolve 

all outstanding injunctive orders and to dismiss the above- 

referenced case on the grounds that the school district has 

achieved unitary status and has operated continuously for 

over seven (7) years without a court action. Proof in the 

form of semi-annual reports submitted by the District to the 

Court and in the form of verbal testimony by the Superintendent 

and possibly others will show that, with respect to faculty, 

 



  

staff, transportion, extracurricular activities, facilities 

and composition of student body, the District has achieved a 

unitary school system. See Green v. County School Board of 
  

New Rent County, Virginia, 391 0.5. 430, 88 S. Ct. 1689, 20 
  

L.Ed.2d 716 (1968); Singleton v. Jackson Mun. Separate School 
  

Dist., 541 PF. Supp. 904, 906 (S.D. Miss. 1981). 

At the present time, the Amite County School District 

1s operating under the direct order of the United States 

District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, 

dated October 19, 1977. This order, entered by Judge Russell, 

approved the Amite County School District's desegregation 

plan that was devised by the school district pursuant to 

Department of Health, Education and Welfare recommendations 

submitted to the Court in August, 1969. The District Court's 

order commanded that the plan become effective on or before 

November 1, 1977. There have been no further orders of the 

District Court in this case. Since the entry of this order, 

the District has submitted semiannual reports due on October 

15 and April 15 of each school year. Since the October 19, 

1977, District Court order, there has been no further judicial 

activity other than the Fifth Circuit's terminating the 

requirement for submitting the semi-annual reports to the 

appellate court without affecting the reporting requirements 

to the District Court and others. 

 



  

The desegregation plan for the Amite County School 

District, as implemented by the District Court order of 

October 19, 1977, is virtually identical to other plans 

enacted by court order throughout the State of Mississippi—~__ 

and other southern states. The plan is frequently referred 

to by courts within the Fifth Circuit as "Singleton" plan 
  

\/ 

  

In the Fifth Circuit case of Singleton A. Jackson Mun. Separate 
Nn Ray 

School Dist., 418% F.24:1211, (5th Cir. 1969) (en banc), 
  

cert, denied, 396 U.S. 1032, 90 Sup. Ct. 612, 24 1,.E4.24 530   

(1970), the Fifth Circuit mandated the implementation of a 

desegregation plan devised by the Department of Health, 

Education and Welfare in sixteen school districts in Missis- 

sippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida. The companion 

opinion United States v. Hinds County School Board, (United 
  

States v. Amite County School District), 423 F.2d 1264, (5th 
  

Cir. 1969), ordered the Singleton-type plan implemented in 
  

Amite County and in various other school districts. Compliance 

was mandated by December 31, 1969. Except for the pupil 

assignment portion of the plan, the Amite County School 

District has operated under the Singleton-type plan since 
  

December 31, 1969. For approximately seven years, the Amite 

County School District, with court approval, assigned pupils 

on the basis of sex. This changed when, on September 21, 

1977, the Fifth Circuit required the Amite County School 

Board to cease student assignment by sex in the case of 

 



  

United States v. Amite County School District, 560 F.2d 619 
  

(5th Cir. 1977). Therefore, with regard to all areas except 

student assignment, the Amite County School District has 

  

operated under the Singleton-type plan for the last fourteen 

years and, with regard to student assignment, for the last 

seven years. 

For the Court's convenience, a synopsis of the litigation 

is attached to this brief as Appendix I. Significantly, the 

Court file shows no action whatsoever by the plaintiffs or 

by Amicus Curiea for over seven years. 

The semi-annual reports filed in the Court file amply 

demonstrate that the faculty, transportion, facilities and 

student body composition are unitary. The Amite County 

School District operates four schools, Gloster Elementary 

School, Gloster High School, Liberty Elementary School and 

Liberty High School. By way of background, the 1980 census 

for Amite County reflected a total of 6996 white residents, 

6365 black residents and 110 other residents, the percentages 

being 52, 47 and 1, respectively. The 1980 census also 

reflected that, for the age group 6 through 19, inclusive, 

there were 1433 white residents, 2129 black residents and 31 

other, with the percentages being 40, 59 and 1, respectively. 

The 1980 census further reflected that, for the age ‘group 20 

through 60, inclusive, there were 3794 white residents, 25679 

black residents and 50 other, the percentages being 58, 41 

 



  

and 1, respectively. A copy of the relevant portion of the 

1980 Census of Population published by the U. S. Department 

of Commerce is attached as Appendix II. 

The Mississippl Research and Development Center's 1985 

census projection reflects a total of 7059 white and 6142 

non-white residents, the percentage being 53 and 47, res- 

pectively. The same projection shows that for the age group 

5 through 19, inclusive, there are 1528 white residents and 

1911 non-white residents, the percentages being 44 and 56, 

respectively. The 1985 census projection also shows that, 

for the age group 20 through 64, inclusive, there are 3867 

white residents, 2719 non-white residents, the percentages 

being 59 and 41, respectively. A copy of the relevant 

portions of the Mississippi Research and Development Center's 

County Population Projections is attached hereto as Appendix 

1X1. 

Using the above-quoted census figures as a reference, 

this Court can readily understand that the Amite County 

School District has achieved unitary status with respect to 

pupil assignment, faculty composition, staff composition, 

facilities, and transportion. With regard to employees and 

staff, the Amite County School District is prepared to show 

this Court that there are presently 249 employees and staff 

other than faculty members in the Amite County School District. 

Of these employees and staff, 183 are black and 66 are 

 



  

white, the percentages being 74 and 26. The District is 

further prepared to show the complete unitary status of 

extracurricular activities. Through use of the semi-annual 

reports filed in the Court file, the District is prepared to 

show complete desegregation with regard to faculty, transpor- 

tion, facilities and student body composition. 

For example, the First Term 1978-79 School Year Semi- 

Annual Report shows that the District's faculty was composed 

of 127 black teachers and 55 white teachers, the percentages 

being 69.8 and 30.2, respectively. The same report shows a 

pupil enrollment of 1972 black students and 439 white students, 

the percentages being 81.8 and 18.2, respectively. The most 

recent semi-annual report, that for the First Term 1934-35 

School Year, shows a faculty composition of 124 black teachers 

and 50 white teachers, the percentages being 71.3 and 28.7, 

respectively. The same report shows a pupil enrollment of 

1690 black students and 323 white students, the percentages 

being 84 and 16, respectively. The two reports mentioned 

above and all of the reports in between show roughly the 

same distribution in faculty and pupil enrollment. The 

semi-annual reports additionally demonstrate the unitary 

status of the school transportion system throughout Amite 

County. 

There is ample precedent for a district court's dissolving 

a Singleton-type order and dismissing a case. See Singleton

v. Jackson Mun. Separate School Dist., 541 F. Supp. 904 
  

(S.D. Miss. 1981) (court granted school district relief from 

Singleton order after ten years operation as a unitary   

system); United States v. Corinth Mun. Separate School 
  

-Dist., 414 PF. Supp. 1336 (N.D. Miss. 1976) (court granted 

school district relief from Singleton order after seven   

years' operation as unitary system.) Indeed, the Fifth 

Circuit has stated "It has never been our purpose to keep 

these cases interminably in the federal courts." United 

States v. State of Texas (San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated 
  

Independent School Dist.), 509 F. Supp. 192, 194 (5th Cir. 
  

1975). 

CONCLUSION   

Upon an evidentiary hearing, the defendants will amply 

demonstrate to this Court that the Amite County School 

District has achieved unitary status in the areas of faculty, 

staff, transportation, extracurricular activities and facilities 

and student body composition. The orders of this Court have 

been followed in all respects. There is no reason for the 

continued operation of the Amite County School District 

under the Singleton-type order and no reason for the District   

to submit the semi-annual reports required by this Court's 

October 19, 1977, order. Under these circumstances, the 

defendants respectfully request this Court to enter an order 

 



  

dissolving all outstanding court orders and finally dismissing 

this case.

SUMMARY OF LITIGATION     

Justice Department filed suit against Amite 
County School District. 

Order of preliminary injunction (Judge Russell) 
implementing freedom of choice and other measures. 

District Court order (Judge Russell) clarifying 
injunction ordering Amite County School District 
to discontinue operating on basis of race or 
color and effecting freedom of choice desegregation. 

District Court order (Judge Russell) permanently 
enjoining Amite County School District from 
discriminating on basis of race or color and 
implementing mandatory exercise of choice 

District Court order (Judge Russell) requiring 

Amite County School Board to submit plan "to 
ensure the immediate and effective erradication 

of racially identifiable schools" by July 26, 1968. 

District Court order (Judge Russell) vacating 
July 9, 1968 order 

Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals opinion and order 
cited as Adams v. Mathews and United States v. 
Amite County School District, 403 F.2d 181 (5th 
    

  

Cir. 1968) ordering district court to determine 
adequacy of plans and whether plans will work 
immediately. In this opinion, the Fifth Circuit 
ordered school districts not to merely open doors 
but to take affirmative steps to desegregate 
school systems. 

District Court opinion (Judge's Cox, Russell 
and Nixon) denying plaintiff's motion to update 
25 cases to conform with Green v. County School 
Board of New Kent County, Virginia, 391 U.S. 430, 

  

  

88 Sup. Ct. 1689, 10 L.EAd.24 716 (1968) as to the 

working of freedom of choice plan to desegregate 
the student body of the schools in those 25 
school districts. This order denied the plain- 
tiff's request for forced mixing by ratio and 
was critical of the HEW plan. The opinion 
ordered desegregation of school faculties and 
set a target date. 

Appendix I - Page 1 

 



  

5/16/69 - District Court order (Judge Cox) denying the 
plaintiff's supplemental relief in accordance 
with May 13, 1969 opinion but ordering school 
boards to "take positive and affirmative 
steps to achieve the complete desegregation 
of their school faculties so that by the 
beginning of the 1970-71 school year, the 
pattern of teacher assignments is not 
identifiable as tailored for a heavy con- 
centration of either Negro or white pupils.” 

7/3/69 - Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals opinion and 
order cited as United States v. Hinds County 
School Board and United States v. Amite 
county School District, 417 r.24 852, (5th 

Cir. 1969) reversing May 13 opinion and May 
16 order of the District Court and commanding 
zoning and pairing. The Fifth Circuit 
commanded desegregation of each school 
district's student body, faculty, staff, 
athletics, and school activities and school 

location and construction. The opinion 
further commanded that the school districts 
work with HEW and submit a plan no later 
than August 11, 1969, for implementation 
for the 1969-70 school year 

  

    

  

3/11/69 - HEW filed its plan with the court. 

8/19/69 — Amite County School District filed its objections 
to HEW plan. 

8/21/69 - Justice Department filed motion to extend time 
for submission of terminal desegregation 
plans to December 1, 1969. 

8/26/69 - Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law 
by District Court (Judges Nixon and Russell) 
recommending Fifth Circuit approval of 
deadline extension to December 1, 1969,

24 L.E4d.2d 19 (1969) - United States Supreme 
Court directing many school districts

District, 423 F.24 1264 (5th Cir. 1969) 
effecting the HEW plans with compliance 
mandated by December 31, 19609. 

  

  

  

At this point, the Amite County School 
District moved to amend the HEW plan only 
to the extent of pupil assignment. The 
school district proposed pupil assignment 
on the basis of sex. 

12/10/69 - Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals order 
modifying HEW student assignment plan by 
allowing proposed plan for assignment of 

students by sex for remainder of 1969-70 
school term and ordering Judge Russell 
to make findings of fact and recommendations 
for plan's continued use in 1970-71 school 
term. 

3/10/70 - Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals instituted 
semi-annual reporting requirements for 
school districts. 

7/14/70 - District Court Findings of Fact and Recommen- 
dations (Judge Russell). The Court, after 

hearing testimony of Miss Annie Andrews, 
Superintendent of Amite County School District, 
found in favor of assignment of students by 

sex and recommended to the Fifth Circuit 
Court of Appeals that the Amite County School 
District be permitted to continue its 
assignment plan by sex and recommended that 
the "current desegregation of faculty and

staff policy remain in effect...." 

8/6/70 Fifth Circuit order approving student 
assignment by sex plan for 1970-71 school 
term but deferring final ruling until 
receipt of semi-annual reports. 

11/13/72 District Court order (Judge Cox) closing 
case pending any further action. 

At this point in time, the Amite County 
School District, pursuant to court approval, 
continued the sex-segregated student assignment 
plan and continued submitting semi-annual 
reports, 

12/30/74 Justice Department and Amicus Curiae (NAACP 
Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc.) moved 
court to discontinue Amite County student 
assignment plan on basis of sex; and Amicus 
noved Court to discontinue practice of 
assigning students to grade sections on 
basis of race. 

6/2/75 Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals order commanding 
Amite County School Board to show cause within 
thirty days why Title II §§203(a) and 401(b) 
of the Education Amendments of 1974 do not 
mandate discontinuance of student assignment 
by sex and why school districts should not 
be enjoined from assigning students to grade 
sections on basis of race. 

After the June 2, 1975, Fifth Circuit order, 
settlement negotiations between HEW and Amite 
County School Board were held, but reached an 
impasse. 

9/21/77 - Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals opinion cited

Amite County School District filed its motion 
for court approval of its desegregation plan 
which was attached to the motion as exhibit 
"A" pursuant to 1969 HEW recommendations. The 
plan was to be effective January 2, 1978. 

Amite County School District filed its motion 
for approval of an amendment to the desegregation 
plan which amendment provided for October 15 and 
April 15 reports to be submitted to the Court, the 
Justice Department and Amicus Curiae (NAACP 
Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc.).
