1Opinion of the Court
ROBERT MADDEN HILL, Circuit Judge:
This appeal is the class plaintiffs’ challenge to a district court’s refusal to hold the defendants in contempt of a broad remedial order in a racial discrimination suit. The plaintiffs also contend that the district court should have modified this order in specified ways. We hold that the district court did not abuse its discretion in either respect, and nor do we find that the district court erred in finally ending its jurisdiction over this twelve-year-old class action. Accordingly, we affirm in all respects.
