MRS. ROBERT LEE MOORE, ET AL. IN NO. 444 

AND 

SUGGESTION THAT THIS COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION

James E. Swann, et al., by their attorneys, respectfully 

submit the following memorandum in response to the motion filed 

the appellants Moore, et al. in No. 444, reguesting that this 

Court consolidate for argument cases Nos. 281, 349, 444 and 498, 

and permit the appellants Moore, et al. to present argument first

and to ke allotted time equal to that of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg 

Board of Education and the original plaintiffs, Swann, et al. 

We oppose the motion on the grounds that: 

1. Moore v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, 
  

No. 444, 0.7. 1970, 

are no parties asserting adverse or antagonistic claims and there 

is no "case or controversy" as required by Article III of the 

Constitution. 

is not a truly adversary 2. Since the Moore case, No. 444, 

called the Court's attention to the i
 proceeding, no party has 

fact that very probably this Court has no jurisdiction of the 

direct appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1253 because the case was not 

required by any statute to be heard by a three-judge district 

court. 

substantial ques- 3. The Moore case, No. 444, involves no 

tions, as revealed by Appellants' Brief in that case which makes 

an entirely inadmissible effort to collaterally attack the judg- 

ments of the single district judge and of the Court of Appeals 

for the Fourth Circuit in the case of Swann v,. Charlotte-

a vehicle a suit in which the Negro plaintiffs Swann, et al. are

Nos. 281, 349 and 498--all of which began as original actions in 

the United States District Court, the Moore case began in a 

North Carolina state court. Its beginning was unusual to say the 

least. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of 

Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and an ex parte restraining 

order was immediately issued by Judge Frank W. Snepp at 10:16 

p.m. on Sunday night, February 22, 1970. (See A. 3-8, complaint; 

A. 19, restraining order; A. 31 with respect to filing on Sunday 

1/ 
night}. 

At the time the Moore case was filed and the state court 

injunction issued, the Swann case had been in litigation in the 

United States District Court for the Western District of North 

Carolina for nearly five years. The full history of the Swann 

case is set forth in Petitioners' Brief in Swann, No. 281, O.T. 

1970 on file in this Court. Two weeks before the filing of 

Moore the district judge in the Swann case had issued a de 

gation order requiring implementation of a plan to desegregate 

the schools during the then current school semester. That order 

a of February 5, 1970, appears at 311 F. Supp. 205 (W.D. N.C. 

1970). On February 20, 1970, the district judge in Swann 

requested that a three-judge court be convened to consider the 

Swann plaintiffs' application for injunctive relief to restrain 

certain state officials and the local school board from enforcing 

the North Carolina anti-bussing law (N.C. Gen. Stats. section 

1 115-176.1) on tte ground that it violated the Fourteenth Amend- 

i bo ment. The Swann plaintiffs had also requested an injunction to

stay another suit filed in the North Carolina state court--Harris 
SN 

v. Self--by some of the same counsel representing the Moore 

plaintiffs. The resident federal district judge on February 20 

requested that this matter also be referred to the requested 

three-judge court stating that the practical effect of the state 

court injunctions obtained in Harris v. Self "may be to delay or 
  

defeat compliance with the orders of this United States Court" 

(A. No. 281, pp. 845a-847a). 

Against this background, the Moore complaint was filed late 0
 

on a Sunday night. The complaint was brought as a class action 

1 behalf of parents and children of the district naming as 

defendants only the Charlotte~M sok lenbuiy Board of Education and 

the Superintendent of Schools. The complaint alleged that the 

school system was already a racially unitary school system in 

compliance with Brown v. Board of Education, but that the Board 
  

i
 and Superintendent were "under pressure of a Court directive ... 

about to implement" a plan under which pupils would be assigned 

on the basis of their race and color. It was alleged that this 

action the board was about to take under order of the federal 

district court violated the rights of the Moore plaintiffs under 

the Fourteenth Amendment, the North Carolina Constitution, sec- 

tions 401 (b) and 407 (a) (2) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 

U.8.C. 2000c{b), and 42 U.S.C. 2000c-56{a)), and N.C. Gen. Stats, 

section 115-176.1. The theory of the complaint was that the 

desegregation plan ordered by the federal district court violated 

the requirement of the Brown case that admission to public 

schools be non-racial by taking race into consideration in 

  
  

  

 



  

  
  accomplishing desegregation of the schools. The Superior Court 

of Mecklenburg County was asked to thus restrain the school 

authorities in Charldte-Mecklenburg from carrying out the deseg- 

regation plan ordered by the United States District Court on 

| February 5, 1970. The complaint prayed only for an order: 

... restraining and enjoining the defendants from 

instituting or implementing or putting into opera- 

tion or effect, or expending any public funds upon, 

any plan or program under which the children named 

above, or any children in the City of Charlotte 

or Mecklenburg County are denied access to any 

Charlotte-Mecklenburg public school because of 

their race or color or are compelled to attend 

any prescribed Charlotte~Mecklenburg public 

school because of their race or color. 

The complaint made no request for an injunction restraining the   
enforcement of any statute, either state or federal. 

1 i As we have indicated, at 10:16 p.m. on Sunday, February 22, 

dD
 Superior Court Judge Snepp issued an injunction in precisely th 

terms requested by the Moore plaintiffs as quoted above (A. 19-

by Judce Snepp. Judge McMillan wrote that: 

On Friday, February 27, 1970, the defendant 

Board of Education had a meeting. Without any 

inguiry of this court, the Board staff were 

instructed to comply with the state court order 

and to stop work on compliance with the order 

previously entered by this Court (A. 31). 

Also on February 27, the board filed a petition removing   the Moore case to the federal district court. The removal peti- 

tion alleges that the case was removable because the federal 

court "has original jurisdiction, in that rights or claims of 

rights arising out of the Constitution and laws of the United     
 



  

  

    

States, statutes of the United States and other rights are allecd 

in the complaint ..." (A. 21). Immediately and on the same date 

--February 27, 1970--the Swann plaintiffs moved in that case for 

an order adding the Moore plaintiffs, their attorneys, Messrs. 

Booe and Blakeney, and Judge Snepp as defendants in the Swann 

case, and for an order restraining them from taking any further 

frustrate the orders in the Swann case. The Swann plaintiffs 

also moved for a temporary restraining order against these par- 

ties and the school beard and that the school board be held in   
civil contempt for its action in directing the school staff not 

to carry out the district court's desegregation orders. 

On February 28, all counsel were notified that a hearing 

would be held in the federal district court on March 2 on 

) motions to set aside the effect of Judge Snepp's order. "Coun- 

sel for plaintiffs in the Moore case did not appear, but sent 

word through secretaries by telephone that they were occupied 

  On March 2, 1970, the school board filed a pleading with 

1 

the district court asserting that the order of Judge Snepp con- 

flicted with the district court orders and placed the board in a 

dilemma, that the constitutionality of the North Carolina anti-   
bussing law and certain provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 

1964 was involved, and requested a “three-judge court to pass on 

> f= 

the case. On the same day, March 2, the Moore plaintiffs also 

filed a motion in the district court seeking an injunction. This 

motion asserted that the school board might be deemed authorized 

  i

to implement the desegregation plan ordered by the district court 

under a proviso in the North Carolina anti-bussing law walch 

states that school boards may assign a pupil outside his attend- 

ance zone "for any other reason which the board of education in 

its sole discretion deems sufficient." The Moore plaintiffs 

prayed for an order enjoining the board from enforcing this pro- 

viso on the ground that the proviso "as thus applied and imple- 

mented is unconstitutional," and asked for the convening of a 

statutory three-judge court. There was no request that the com- 

plaint be amended. 

On March 6, the district court entered an order (A. 31-33) 

i 

which ruled that the order of Judge Snepp was "suspended and held   in abeyance and of no force and effect pending the final determi-   
| nation by a three-judge court or by the Supreme Court of the

issues which will be presented to the three-judge court on March |

24, 1970" (A. 32), and that the Moore case be referred to the | Ore 
} 

| 
} three-judge court which was scheduled to hear the Swann case on 

March 24. Subsequently, the district judge formally requested a 

three-judge court for the Moore case (A. 38) and such a court was | 

designated (A. 39). | 

On March 23, the school board filed an answer admitting all 

of the allegations of the complaint. On March 23, the Moore 

plaintiffs served several requests for admissions on the school 

board. The school board answered this request by admitting all   
the matters requested by the Moore plaintiffs on the same day, ! 

March 23, 1970. The various pleadings filed in the Moore case 

“ | “ - : ya i, 
were not served on the Swann plaintiffs.       

 



    

  

  

When the case was heard by the three-judge court both 

parties to the Moore case argued to the three-judge court that 

the North Carolina anti-bussing law was valid and that the orders 

of the single district judge in Swann should be set aside. The 

hearing was consolidated with argument in the Swann case. On 

April 29, 1970, the three-judge court filed its decision (A. 44- 

62) now reported at 312 P. Supp. 503 (W.D. N.C. 1970). The court 

held that the anti-bussing law was unconstitutional in violation 

of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Supremacy Clause, in an 

opinion written to cover both the Swann and Moore cases. Subse- 

quently, the final judgment of the three-judge court--also 

entered in both the Swann and Moore cases--declared two sentences

II. 

The Moore Case Involves No Adversary Parties 

and Thus Present 8 No Casz2 or Controversy. 
  

  

The jurisdiction of this Court is restricted to cases and 

controversies within the meaning of Article III of the Constitu- 

tion. Muskrat v, United States, 219 U.8. 346 (1911). In addi-   

tion, this Court has developed a number of rules limiting its 

consideration of constitutional contentions brought here for 

decision. See, e.g., Ashwander v. Tennessee Valley Authority,   

297 U.S. 288, 341, 346 (1936) (concurring opinion). One of the 

principal requisites for constitutional adjudication is that there] 

be adverse claims--"an honest and actual antagonistic assertion 

of rights by one individual against another." Ck   

v, Wellman, 143 U.S. 339, 344, 345 (1892). The leading cases 

involving the requirement of adversity are collected in Poe v. 

Ullman, 367 U.S. 497, 303-507 (1961). Mr. Justice Prankfurter's 

opinion in Poe states: 

his principle was given early application and 

has been recurringly enforced in the Court 

refusal to en ntertain cases which disclosed a want 

of a truly adversary contest, of a col Lllision of 

actively asserted and differing claims. See, 

e.g., Cleveland v. Chamberlain (US) 1 Black 419, 

17 L ed 93; American Wood-Paper Co. v. Heft (US) 

8 Wall 333, 19 IL ed 378. Such cases may not be 

"collusive" in the derogatory sense of Lord v. 

Veazie (US) 8 How. 251, 12 L ed 1067--in the 

an colorable disputes 

secure an advantageo ruling from C ; 

See Soutl oe ing Hill Gold Min. Co. v. Amador 

Medean Gold Min. Co. 145 US 300, 301 ed 712, 

12 5S Ct-921., The Court has found for adjudi 

cation any cause that "is not in ¢ sense 

adversary," that "does not assume honest and 

  

( 

actual antagonistic assertion of ri 

adjudicated--a safeguard essen intag- 

i rity of the judicial process, and one which w= [4 

have held to be indispensable to adjudication 

  

  

  

 



  

of constitutional questions by this Court. 

United States v. Johnson, 319 U.S. 302, 303, 

87 L. ed 1413, 1415, 63-8 Ct 1075, 

(367 U.S. at 505.) 

  
| appellees (the school board and school superintendent) have 

argued at every stage of the proceeding that the court-ordered 

desegregation plan was not constitutionally required, that it 

conflicted with the state anti-bussing law, and that the latter 

  act was a valid exercise of state power. No party in the Moore | 

case argues any other viewpoint. Furthermore, it is obvious 

| that the parties are cooperating with each other. In Moore,   not only does the answer admit every allegation of the complaint, |

This Court has jurisdiction over direct appeals from orders 

granting or denying an injunction "in any civil action, suit or 

proceeding required by any Act of Congress to be heard and deter- 

mined by a district court of three judges.” 28 U.5.C. §1253. 

Under Section 1253 a direct appeal is permissible only where 

a three-judge court is required and not merely where three-judges   

oo
 

actually decide a case. Phillips v. United States, 312 U.S. 24 
  

i (1941); Swift & CO. V. Wickham, 282 U.8.:111 (1965). 
  

A three-judge court was not required in the Moore case 

by either 28 U.S.C. Section 2281 or 2282. With respect to Section 

2282 it is plain that the complaint did not seek any injunction 

inst "any Act of Congress for repugnance to the Constitution A) age ( 

of the United States." On the contrary the complaint asserted 

| that the only federal statute mentioned -- the Civil Rights Act 

of 1964 -- supported the plaintiffs' claims. This Court's

purposes that the school board has argued (A. 26-30) that the n 

district court desegregation order in the Swann case can be 

upheld only if the provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act are

The school board's answer sought no injunction but merely 

dismissal of the case. The board's application for an injunctive 

order (A. 26) does not indicate who it is that the board seeks   to enjoin. The district court interpreted it as a request that   the state court restraining order be dissolved. Even if it is 

construed as a request for an injunction against the Moore 

plaintiffs seeking to enforce the anti-busing act it would not 

be the basis for a three-judge court because Moore, et al., are 

not state officers, and thus the third requisite stated above is | 

relief ultimately granted by the district court. That court in-

Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954) and 349 U.S8.294 

have won the Moore case. Apparently the prevailing party in 

Moore was the school board. Of course the board was simultaneous 

ly enjoined in the Swann case at the behest of Swann et al. and   

directed to carry out the desegregation order without regard to 

the anti-busing law. (The difficulty in ascertaining who -- if 

anyone -- won the Moore case nicely underlines the point we have 

made about lack of adverse parties.) 

Finally the Moore plaintiffs!application for an injunctive 

order filed in the district court on March 2, 1970 (A. 23-25) does - a

The Moore Case Involves no Substantial Questions. 
    

An examination of Appellants' Brief will reveal that the   
Moore case presents no substantial questions. The greater por- 

- 

tion of the brief consists of an effort to mount a collateral 

attack on the decision of the Fourth Circuit and the single dis-

Finally, the decision of the three-judge court holding the 

anti-bussing law unconstitutional is firmly grounded in this   
Court's decisions. The case is plainly controlled by Green v. 

  

ounty School Board of New Kent County, 391 U.S. 430 (1968), for 
& om nn St A RA
