Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided May 17, 1989No. 88-4469PublishedCited by 30 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

REAYLEY, Circuit Judge:

Appellants, the class of black parents and students of the Oxford, Mississippi community, appeal from the district court’s judgment which dissolved all injunctive orders entered against the Oxford Municipal Separate School District (“Oxford”) and dismissed the nineteen year old school desegregation suit. They argue on appeal that the district court erred not only in dissolving the existing injunctive orders, but also in refusing to grant additional injunctive relief. We affirm, but vacate that portion of the judgment dealing with court costs.
