RONEY, Circuit Judge:
This race discrimination suit grew out of defendant school district’s refusal to hire plaintiff Jose L. Lopez as a counselor in May 1973. Plaintiffs sought declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief to correct certain hiring policies alleged to discriminate against Mexican Americans and Blacks. The trial court dismissed plaintiffs’ Title VII claims for failure to comply with the deferral provisions of 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e-5(e) and later dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs’ remaining claims for failure to prosecute, awarding attorney’s fees to defendants under 42 U.S.C.A.…
