MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION 

Upon the intervenors' complaint, the plaintiff-intervenors 

move the Court as follows: 

1. To hear and determine the intervenors' request for pre- 

liminary and/or final injunctive relief together with the now 

pending motion for further injunctive relief which involves sub- 

stantially the same issues of fact and law presented by the 

intervenors' complaint. 

2. To permit the parties to submit ore tenus and documentary 

evidence in support of the requests for relief at the hearing of 

the motion. 

3. To enter a preliminary injunction restraining the defend- 

ants, their agents, servants and employees, from refusing to admit, 

enroll and educate the plaintiff-intervenors and others similarly 

situated to schools on a noneracial basis, and without racial 

discrimination; restraining the defendants from continuing the 



system of initial assignments on the basis of race; and restraining 

the defendants from applying any discriminatory pupil transfer or 

assignment standards, criteria or procedures which operate to limit 

desegregation and preserve the pre-existing segregated school system. 

To grant such other and further relief as may seem just 

and proper. 

Respectfully submitted,
