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.
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.
