1Opinion of the Court
J. BLAINE ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
I
This appeal requires us to review a consent decree negotiated in settlement of a class action suit challenging allegedly discriminatory employment practices in the San Francisco Police Department. Jesse Byrd, a named party plaintiff and class representative, renews the objections to the settlement that he raised in the court below. The district court, 473 F.Supp. 801, rejected his and others’ objections and entered judgment. We now affirm the district court’s order validating and approving the consent decree.
