General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Connor v. Coleman, 425 U.S. 675 (1976)
Connor v. Coleman No. 75-1184 Decided May 19, 1976 425 U.S. 675
ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE PETITION
FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Syllabus
Motion for leave to file a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the District Court to enter a final judgment embodying a permanent reapportionment plan for the Mississippi Legislature is granted, there being no justification for delaying further a final decision in this 10-year litigation that complies with this Court’s directive to the District Court that "[s]uch proceedings should go forward and be promptly concluded," Connor v. Williams, 404 U.S. 549, 551-552. Since the District Court may be expected to conform its proceedings accordingly, consideration of the mandamus petition is continued.
