Opinion
PER CURIAM:
These are appeals in four school desegregation cases. They are before us on appellants’ motions for summary reversal.
Notwithstanding the decision of the Supreme Court in Green v. County School Board of New Kent County, 1968, 391 U.S. 430 , 88 S.Ct. 1689 , 20 L.Ed.2d 716 , the District Court approved freedom of choice plans. We reversed in Hall v. St. Helena Parish School Board, 5 Cir. 1969, 417 F.2d 801 , and ordered the District Court to adopt plans for the complete elimination of the dual systems. Plans to do so were submitted by HEW on July 5, 1969. The District Court, however, approved plans proposed by the school boards which do not establish ra *693 cially unitary school systems. Appellants seek summary reversal.
Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education, 1969, 396 U.S. 19 , 90 S.Ct. 29 , 24 L.Ed.2d 19 ; United States v. Hinds County School Board, 5 Cir. 1969, 417 F.2d 852 , and Singleton v. Jackson Municipal Separate School System (and consolidated cases en banc), 5 Cir. 1969, 419 F.2d 1211 , mandate that “effective immediately * * * school districts * * * may no longer operate a dual school system based on race or color,” and that they must “begin immediately to operate as unitary school systems within which no person is to be effectively excluded from any school because of race or color.”
We reverse and remand each of these cases for compliance with the requirements of Alexander v. Holmes County, and the terms, provisions and conditions (including the times specified) in Singleton, supra.
The mandate in this ease shall issue forthwith. No stay will be granted pending petition for rehearing or application for certiorari.
Reversed and remanded with directions.
Before GEWIN, GOLDBERG and DYER, Circuit Judges.
