1Per curiam
Plaintiffs appeal from an award of $1,000.00 attorneys’ fees by the District Judge in their action challenging the reapportionment plan for electing members of the Iberville Parish School Board. The award was made in response to our original remand which found the reapportionment plan unconstitutional. Panior v. Iberville Parish School Board, 5 Cir., 1974, 498 F.2d 1232, 1237.

We agree and vacate and remand for a new determination by the District Court of appropriate attorneys’ fees.
