Glenn N. HEFNER, Etc., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. NEW ORLEANS PUBLIC SERVICE, INC., Et Al., Defendants-Appellees

GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:

This case involves a challenge under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 to a consent decree resulting from an earlier class action suit and a collective bargaining agreement incorporating its provisions. Together, these agreements implemented an affirmative action program for black transit operators. We do not reach the merits of either of plaintiff’s claims since both were filed much too late to be considered, and affirm the trial court’s dismissal of the complaint.
