BY THE COURT:
This school desegregation case is before us the second time. See our initial opinion, 1970, 428 F. 2d 377, rehearing en bane denied, Id. at 379.
There are presently appeals before us by the United States of America, plaintiff, and Ridley, et al., plaintiffs-interve-nors.
The motion of the State of Georgia to dismiss the appeal of Ridley, et al., plaintiffs-intervenors, for failure to file same within the Singleton timetable is denied.
The judgment of the District Court is reversed and the cause is remanded with direction that the District Court require defendants forthwith to implement fully the uniform provisions of our decision in Singleton v. Jackson Municipal Separate School District, en banc, 5 Cir., 1970, 419 F. 2d 1211; Id., 425 F. 2d 1211, insofar as said uniform provisions relate to desegregation of faculty and other staff, school construction and site selection, and attendance outside system of residence. See also Carter v. West Feli-ciana Parish School Board, 5 Cir., 1970, 432 F. 2d 875.
To the limited extent that the pupil assignment plans in any of the 81 respective School Districts involved in this litigation in the District Court are contested in this appeal, the judgment of the District Court is vacated with respect thereto and the cause is remanded with direction that the District Court require defendants forthwith to constitute and implement a student assignment plan that complies with the principles established in Swann v.
