Under the stringent requirements of Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education, 1969, 396 U.S. 19, 90 S.Ct. 29, 24 L.Ed.2d 19, which this Court has carried out in United States v. Hinds County School Board, 5 Cir., 1969, 417 F.2d 852 [Nov. 7, 1969] this Court has judically determined that the ordinary procedures for appellate review in school segregation cases have to be suitably adapted to assure that each system, whose case is before us, “begin immediately to operate as unitary school systems”. Upon consideration of the record and so much of the briefs as are available or determined to be needed by the Court, the Court has proceeded to dispose of this case as an extraordinary matter. F.R.A.P. 2.1
The present appeal is taken by the Board 'of Public Instruction, Manatee County, Florida, from the District Court’s order of June 27, 1969, finding that the Board’s plan as submitted was inadequate, and the decree of the Court that an amended plan be submitted with *137revised zones pertaining to the school district’s thirty schools.
A cross-appeal was filed by the appel-les (private plaintiffs below), such cross-appeal alleging that the District Court's order did not effectually dismantle the dual school system for Manatee County.
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’s order would approve a plan proposed by the School Board and amended by the Court which does not establish a racially unitary school system.
Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education, 1969, 396 U.S. 29, 90 S.Ct. 29, 24 L.Ed.2d 19; United States v. Hinds County School Board, 5 Cir., 1969, 417 F.2d 852 [Nov. 7, 1969]; and Singleton v. Jackson Municipal Separate School District, et al. (and consolidated cases en banc), 419 F.2d 1217 [Dec. 1, 1969], 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”.
The order of the District Court is reversed and remanded on appellees’ cross-appeal for compliance with the requirements of Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education, and the terms, provisions and conditions (including the time specified, Parts I and III) in Singleton, supra.
The mandate in this cause shall issue forthwith. No stay will be granted pending petition for rehearing or application for certiorari.
Reversed and remanded.
