FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
TURNER, District Judge.
These cases have been remanded to this court pursuant to the en banc decision of the Sixth Circuit in Aiken v. City of Memphis, 37 F.3d 1155 (6th Cir.1994). In that order, the Sixth Circuit instructed this court to determine whether the use of affirmative action in the 1988 and 1989 promotional processes in the Memphis Police Department (“MPD”) was a narrowly-tailored remedy in light of the government’s compelling interest in remedying past discrimination within that department.
