Alexis I. Du Pont Sch. Dist. Vs. Evans
Court: US Supreme Court
Decided on: Sep-08-1978
Alexis I. du Pont Sch. Dist. v. Evans - 439 U.S. 1375 (1978) U.S. Supreme Court Alexis I. du Pont Sch. Dist. v. Evans, 439 U.S. 1375 (1978) Alexis I. du Pont School District v. Evans No. A-188 Decided September 8, 1978 439 U.S. 1375 ON REAPPLICATION FOR STAY Syllabus Reapplication to stay Court of Appeals' judgment and mandate affirming District Court's school desegregation order ( see ante p. 439 U. S. 1360 ) is denied. It appears unlikely that four Justices of this Court would vote to grant certiorari at this time to consider the liability issues decided below, and, although four Justices might grant certiorari to consider the scope of the District Court's authority to grant such a drastic remedy as it did, the case is not presently at the certiorari stage, and a stay would be too disruptive, since school is to begin in three days. MR. JUSTICE REHNQUIST. Applicants, seven defendant suburban school districts in the area of Wilmington, Delaware, have requested that I st...
Bustop, Inc. Vs. Board of Ed. of City of Los Angeles
Court: US Supreme Court
Decided on: Sep-08-1978
Bustop, Inc. v. Board of Ed. of City of Los Angeles - 439 U.S. 1380 (1978) U.S. Supreme Court Bustop, Inc. v. Board of Ed. of City of Los Angeles, 439 U.S. 1380 (1978) Bustop, Inc. v. Board of Education of the City of Los Angeles No. A-249 Decided September 8, 1978 439 U.S. 1380 ON APPLICATION FOR STAY Syllabus Application to stay, pending the filing of a petition for certiorari or an appeal, California Supreme Court's order vacating Court of Appeal's stay against enforcement of trial court's desegregation order for the Los Angeles school system requiring extensive busing of students, is denied. It appears that the California Supreme Court continues to be of the view that the State Constitution requires less of a showing on the part of plaintiffs who seek court-ordered busing than this Court has required of plaintiffs who seek similar relief under the Federal Constitution. Thus, applicant's complaint involves state law, and should be resolved in the state courts. Accordingly,...
Divans Vs. California
Court: US Supreme Court
Decided on: Sep-01-1978
Divans v. California - 439 U.S. 1367 (1978) U.S. Supreme Court Divans v. California, 439 U.S. 1367 (1978) Divans v. California No. A-233 Decided September 1, 1978 439 U.S. 1367 ON APPLICATION FOR STAY Syllabus Application to stay, pending the filing of a petition for certiorari, California Superior Court's retrial of applicant for murder is denied. The application contains nothing to contradict the Superior Court's finding that the prosecutor's error that resulted in a mistrial at the first trial was not calculated to force applicant to move for a mistrial, and, accordingly, it is unlikely that this Court would grant certiorari to review applicant's double jeopardy claim. MR. JUSTICE REHNQUIST, Circuit Justice. Applicant's motion to stay the proceedings in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, Cal., is denied. In July, 1977, applicant filed a similar motion for stay pending review in this Court of his claim that the Double Jeopardy Clause of the United States Constitut...
Buchanan Vs. Evans
Court: US Supreme Court
Decided on: Sep-01-1978
Buchanan v. Evans - 439 U.S. 1360 (1978) U.S. Supreme Court Buchanan v. Evans, 439 U.S. 1360 (1978) Buchanan v. Evans No. A-188 Decided September 1, 1978 439 U.S. 1360 ON APPLICATION FOR STAY Syllabus Application to stay, pending the filing of a petition for certiorari, Court of Appeals' judgment and mandate affirming District Court's order prescribing a school desegregation plan for Wilmington, Del., and suburban districts, is denied. The record is replete with findings that de jure segregation has not been dismantled, thus (contrary to the situation in Dayton Board of Education v. Brinkman, 433 U. S. 406 ) justifying the District Court's extensive inter-district remedy. Hence, it does not appear that four Justices of this Court would vote to grant certiorari or that the balance of equities favors applicant. MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN, Circuit Justice. The Delaware State Board of Education and eight intervening defendant suburban school districts [ Footnote 1 ] request tha...
United Methodist Church Vs. California Super. Ct.
Court: US Supreme Court
Decided on: Sep-01-1978
United Methodist Church v. California Super. Ct. - 439 U.S. 1369 (1978) U.S. Supreme Court United Methodist Church v. California Super. Ct., 439 U.S. 1369 (1978) General Council on Finance & Administration, United Methodist Church v. California Superior Court No. A-200 (7300) Decided September 1, 1978 439 U.S. 1369 ON APPLICATION FOR STAY Syllabus Application to stay, pending review by certiorari, California Superior Court proceedings in which applicant nonresident religious organization is a defendant and in which the Superior Court had denied applicant's motion to quash service of process for lack of in personam jurisdiction is denied, where it appears unlikely that four Justices of this Court will vote to grant certiorari. MR. JUSTICE REHNQUIST, Circuit Justice. The General Council on Finance and Administration of the United Methodist Church requests that proceedings in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Diego, in which it is a defenda...
