   C. A. 7th Cir. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice White,

with whom Mr. Justice Powell joins,

dissenting.

I dissent from the denial of the petition for certiorari.

Petitioner, a Wisconsin corporation with its place of business in Milwaukee, Wis., contracted with respondent, a West Virginia corporation with its principal place of business in Charleston, W. Va., to sell structural assemblies for incorporation by respondent into the outlet works of a dam and reservoir in Virginia. Aside from the contacts arising from the negotiation, execution, and performance of this contract, respondent has never had any connection with the State of Wisconsin. Petitioner’s agent initiated the negotiations by visiting respondent’s offices in West Virginia and delivering a quotation. The quotation provided that “[a]ny order arising out of this proposal ... is subject to home office acceptance at Milwaukee, Wisconsin.” Respondent then mailed petitioner its purchase order referring to petitioner’s quotation. Petitioner signed the purchase order in Milwaukee and returned it to respondent together with a proposed modification, which became part of the contract when respondent treated the modified order as effective. During the course of their negotiations both parties initiated other communications between their respective offices either by telephone or by mail.

The contract provided that the goods were to be shipped “F. O. B. SELLERS [sic] PLANT MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN with freight allowed to rail siding nearest project site,” and stated that Wisconsin law would govern the transaction. According to petitioner, Pet. for Cert. 4, the total contract price was $1,281,750.00. Petitioner proceeded to manufacture the goods at its plant in Wisconsin and ship them to the project site in Virginia. Respondent asserted that some of the goods were defective and withheld part of the purchase price.

Petitioner thereupon filed the present action in a Wisconsin state court to recover the unpaid balance on the contract. It alleged personal jurisdiction under Wisconsin’s long-arm statute, Wis. Stat. §§ 801.05, 801.11 (1975), which has been interpreted to reach as far as due process will allow, Flambeau Plastics Corp. v. King Bee Mfg. Co., 24 Wis. 2d 459, 464, 129 N. W. 2d 237, 240 (1964). Respondent removed the case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. It there filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction or, in the alternative, to transfer the case to a federal district court in Virginia or West Virginia. The court denied the motion and entered summary judgment for petitioner on the merits.

The Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed, 597 F. 2d 596 (1979), holding that respondent’s contacts with the Wisconsin forum were not sufficient to satisfy the “minimum contacts” test of International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U. S. 310, 316 (1945). The court found that the contacts with the forum consisted solely of “unilateral activity of [one] who claim [s] some relationship with a nonresident defendant” of the type found insufficient to sustain personal jurisdiction in Hanson v. Denckla, 357 U. S. 235, 253 (1958). Although respondent ordered the goods from a Wisconsin corporation with knowledge that they were likely to be manufactured in Wisconsin, respondent did not thereby “purposefully avai[l] itself of the privilege of conducting activities within the forum State,” ibid., since the contract left petitioner with absolute discretion as to where the goods would be manufactured. Nor did the Court of Appeals find the requisite minimum contacts in (a) the contract provision requiring shipment f. o. b. petitioner’s plant in Milwaukee, (b) respondent’s use of interstate telephone and mail services to communicate with petitioner in Wisconsin, or (c) respondent’s sending the purchase order to Wisconsin. The Court of Appeals therefore remanded the case to the District Court with directions to vacate the judgment and either dismiss the case or transfer it to another district.

As the Court of Appeals noted, 597 F. 2d, at 601, the question of personal jurisdiction over a nonresident corporate defendant based on contractual dealings with a resident plaintiff has deeply divided the federal and state courts. Cases arguably in conflict with the decision below include: Pedi Bares, Inc. v. P & C Food Markets, Inc., 567 F. 2d 933 (CA10 1977); United States Railway Equipment Co. v. Port Huron & Detroit R. Co., 495 F. 2d 1127 (CA7 1974); Product Promotions, Inc. v. Cousteau, 495 F. 2d 483, 494-499 (CA5 1974); Ajax Realty Corp. v. J. F. Zook, Inc., 493 F. 2d 818 (CA4 1972), cert. denied sub nom. Durell Products, Inc. v. Ajax Realty Corp., 411 U. S. 966 (1973); In-Flight Devices Corp. v. Van Dusen Air, Inc., 466 F. 2d 220 (CA6 1972); O’Hare Int’l Bank v. Hampton, 437 F. 2d 1173 (CA7 1971); Electro-Craft Corp. v. Maxwell Electronics Corp., 417 F. 2d 365 (CA8 1969); Manufacturers’ Lease Plans, Inc. v. Alverson Draughon College, 115 Ariz. 358, 565 P. 2d 864 (1977) (en banc); Colony Press, Inc. v. Fleeman, 17 Ill. App. 3d 14, 308 N. E. 2d 78 (1974); Miller v. Glendale Equipment & Supply, Inc., 344 So. 2d 736 (Miss. 1977); McIntosh v. Navaro Seed Co., 81 N. M. 302, 466 P. 2d 868 (1970); State ex rel. White Lumber Sales, Inc. v. Sulmonetti, 252 Ore. 121, 448 P. 2d 571 (1968) (en banc); Proctor & Schwartz, Inc. v. Cleveland Lumber Co., 228 Pa. Super. 12, 323 A. 2d 11 (1974); Zerbel v. H. L. Federman & Co., 48 Wis. 2d 54, 179 N. W. 2d 872 (1970), appeal dism’d, 402 U. S. 902 (1971). Cases arguably supporting the decision below include: Republic Int’l Corp. v. Amco Engineers, Inc., 516 F. 2d 161, 167 (CA9 1975) (dictum); Whittaker Corp. v. United Aircraft Corp., 482 F. 2d 1079, 1084-1085 (CA1 1973) (construing state law); E. R. Callender Printing Co. v. District Court, 182 Colo. 25, 510 P. 2d 889 (1973) (en banc) (construing state law); Rath Packing Co. v. Intercontinental Meat Traders, Inc., 181 N. W. 2d 184 (Iowa 1970); O. N. Jonas Co. v. B & P Sales Corp., 232 Ga. 256, 206 S. E. 2d 437 (1974) (construing state law); Marshall Egg Transport Co. v. Bender-Goodman Co., 275 Minn. 534, 148 N. W. 2d 161 (1967) (construing state law); Conn v. Whitmore, 9 Utah 2d 250, 342 P. 2d 871 (1959) (construing state law); Sun-X Int’l Co. v. Witt, 413 S. W. 2d 761 (Tex. Civ. App. 1967). The question at issue is one of considerable importance to contractual dealings between purchasers and sellers located in different States. The disarray among federal and state courts noted above may well have a disruptive effect on commercial relations in which certainty of result is a prime objective. That disarray also strongly suggests that prior decisions of this Court offer no clear guidance on the question. I would grant the petition in order to address this important problem.

    No. 79-804.
    Cleveland Board of Education et al. v. Reed et al.
   C. A. 6th Cir. Certiorari denied.

Mb. Justice Rehnquist,

with whom The Chief Justice and Mb. Justice Powell join,

dissenting.

Petitioners seek to present two questions for decision:

(a) whether the District Court properly found systemwide segregative intent on the part of petitioner school Board, and,

(b) “[wjhether the systemwide student reassignment plan ordered by the District Court, whereby every grade in every school must have a ratio of black and white students in approximate proportion to the systemwide ratio," exceeded the violation found, particularly where the evidence showed that Cleveland’s residential areas are highly segregated by race.” Pet. for Cert. 3. With respect to the first issue of systemwide desegregation, the District Court found as follows in its exhaustive opinion:

“[T]he local defendants offered evidence to show that various actions complained of by the plaintiffs were supported by valid, racially neutral, educationally sound reasons. For instance, the defendants argued that they created optional attendance zones to permit students to avoid heavy traffic or other such safety hazards, or to address the problems of overcrowding. Various school construction decisions were defended as being responsive to sincere desires of local residente for neighborhood facilities. The assignment of black teachers and administrators to schools with majority black student enrollments was defended on the ground that such faculty or staff would be better able to relate to students of the same race. Where there was factual support for the claim that such decisions had compelling educational bases, or where legitimate safety concerns were being met in a plausible and nonracial manner, the allegations of the plaintiffs were set aside. However, there remain more than 200 enumerated actions cited in the liability opinion for which the explanations of the defendants either were not credible or were not legally permissible. In these instances, the Court finds that the defendants acted (1) not only with awareness of the natural, probable, and foreseeable consequences of their acts, (2) but also with the purpose and intent to maintain racial segregation.” Reed v. Rhodes, 455 F. Supp. 546, 555 (ND Ohio 1978).

The Court of Appeals affirmed this conclusion of the District Court in this language:

“Our review of this record supports the District Judge’s findings of fact in this regard and we find no fault in his conclusions of law, as stated above. The findings of fact certainly cannot be termed clearly erroneous, and the conclusions of law which pertain to his 1973 findings and his 1964 findings are both entirely consistent with the opinions of the Supreme Court in Columbus Board of Education v. Penick, [443] U. S. [449] (1979), and Dayton Board of Education v. Brinkman, [443] U. S. [526] (1979).” Reed v. Rhodes, 607 F. 2d 714, 717 (CA6 1979).

The Court of Appeals, I think, was undoubtedly correct in upholding this District Court’s finding of systemwide segre-gative intent on the basis of this Court’s decisions last Term in the Columbus and Dayton cases. I would therefore not vote to grant the petition on this first issue.

The Court of Appeals, however, devoted virtually no attention to the second issue — the propriety of the remedy imposed by the District Court. In the Court of Appeals’ opinion, which comprises 46 pages of the appendix to the petition, less than 4 are devoted to the propriety of the remedy decreed, and none of these 4 pages deal with whether the remedy was appropriate, conceding that a systemwide remedy could be imposed. The court focused solely on the legitimacy of imposing a systemwide remedy, neglecting to address the propriety of the terms imposed by that remedy. The Court of Appeals extensively quoted language in this Court’s opinion in Columbus, supra, to support its approval of this remedy, but that language simply has no application to the issue of whether as drastic a remedy as this may be imposed once a systemwide violation has been found.

In Milliken v. Bradley, 418 U. S. 717, 744 (1974), we held:

“The controlling principle consistently expounded in our holdings is that the scope of the remedy is determined by the nature and extent of the constitutional violation. Swann [v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, 402 U. S. 1 (1971)], at 16.”

This was not a novel principle then any more than it is now. It simply reflects the traditional rule that the remedy imposed by a United States district court exercising its equitable powers must restore, as nearly as possible, the situation which would have existed had the wrong not occurred. We have certainly never held that racial balance is constitutionally required once a violation is established. To the contrary, in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, 402 U. S. 1, 24 (1971), this Court stated explicitly that, “'[t]he constitutional command to desegregate schools does not mean that every school in every community must always reflect the racial composition of the school system as a whole.”

The District Court then either ignored the statement in Swann or formulated this remedy on the hypothesis that had there been no segregative conduct on the part of the Cleveland School Board, there would have been no racially segregated housing patterns in the city of Cleveland. For the reasons persuasively stated by Me. Justice Powell in his opinion dissenting from the dismissal of the writ of certiorari in Estes v. Metropolitan Branch, Dallas NAACP, 444 U. S. 437, 438 (1980), this is simply not a realistic hypothesis. Conceding that there whs a systemwide violation, and allowing for the discretion and flexibility necessary for the District Court to fashion an equitable decree which would requite the constitutional wrong, that discretion did not extend to restructuring the entire demography of the city of Cleveland as reflected in its schools, unless that demography was attributable to the conduct of the petitioner school Board. While the District Court found that some of the racial housing patterns were attributable to the conduct of the Board, it also made clear that other factors, including the location of public housing by entities other than the Board, also had a causative effect. Even if the Constitution required it, and it were possible for federal courts to do it, no equitable decree can fashion an “Emerald City” where all races, ethnic groups, and persons of various income levels live side by side in a large metropolitan area. Because the decree of the District Court here seems flatly contrary to the language of Swann, supra, and Milliken, supra, I would grant the petition for certiorari limited to the second question.
