Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi.
Before COLEMAN, CLARK and INGRAHAM, Circuit Judges.
This appeal is taken from the district court's refusal to modify its prior injunctive order in response to allegations of racial discrimination toward inmates in the employment and training of personnel at the Mississippi State Penitentiary; and from the modification of the prisoner mail regulation contained in the prior order which plaintiffs asserted was modified in a manner which violates the ruling of Procunier v. Martinez, 416 U.S. 396, 94 S.Ct. 1800, 40 L.Ed.2d 224 (1974). The district court rendered a full opinion explicating its reasoning, Gates v. Collier, 390 F.Supp. 482 (N.D., Miss., 1975).
