Louis R. Lucas, William E. Caldwell, Ratner, Sugarmon & Lucas, Memphis, Tenn., Jack Greenberg, Norman J. Chachkin, New York City, for Deborah A. Northcross, and others.
Jack Petree, Evans, Petree, Cobb & Edwards, Memphis, Tenn., for Board of Education of the Memphis City Schools, and others.
Before PHILLIPS, Chief Judge; and WEICK, EDWARDS, CELEBREZZE, PECK, McCREE, MILLER and KENT, Circuit Judges.
A majority of the active judges of this Court having voted against an en banc hearing on the motion to vacate the stay, it is ordered that said motion be and is hereby referred to the panel for determination. Chief Judge Phillips, and Judges Edwards and McCree requested that their votes in favor of an en banc hearing be recorded. Judge Edwards has filed a dissent to the denial of the en banc hearing in which dissent Chief Judge Phillips and Judge McCree concur. The panel does not agree with the statement in the dissent to the effect that the Supreme Court told Appellate and District Courts not to enter stays pending appeal authorized by Rule 8, Fed.R.App.P. in appropriate cases.
EDWARDS, Circuit Judge, dissenting, joined by Chief Judge PHILLIPS and Judge McCREE.
The denial of this motion for an en banc hearing sustains the first stay of a District Court desegregation order entered in this court since United States Supreme Court opinions in effect told Appellate and District Courts not to enter such stays. In Kelley v. Metropolitan County Board of Education of Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee, 436 F.2d 856 (6th Cir. 1970), in denying a stay we summarized those decisions as follows:
