1Opinion of the Court
CRAVEN, Circuit Judge:
This three-judge district court was convened pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2281 et seq. (1964), to consider a single aspect of the above-captioned case: the constitutionality and impact of a state statute, N.C.Gen.Stat. § 115-176.1 (Supp.1969), known as the antibussing law, on this suit brought to desegregate the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system. We hold a portion of N.C.Gen.Stat. § 115-176.1 unconstitutional because it may interfere with the school board’s performance of its affirmative constitutional duty under the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
