    No. 79-711.
    Alabama v. Davis.
   C. A. 5th Cir. Cer-tiorari granted, judgment of the Court of Appeals vacated, and that court is directed to remand the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama with instructions to vacate the order denying the petition for a writ of habeas corpus. See United States v. Munsingwear, 340 U. S. 36 (1950).

Mr. Justice Stevens,

dissenting.

In United States v. Munsingwear, 340 U. S. 36, 39, the Court stated that

“[t]he established practice of the Court in dealing with a civil case from a court in the federal system which has become moot while on its way here or pending our decision on the merits is to reverse or vacate the judgment below and remand with a direction to dismiss.”

But that need not be done in this case, first, because respondent Davis’ petition for a writ of habeas corpus has already been dismissed by the District Court on motion by Davis after the State’s petition for a writ of certiorari had been filed. See Supplement to Pet. for Cert. 6. And second, it should be noted that the judgment of the Court of Appeals did not order that Davis be released from custody, but merely held that his attorneys had failed to discharge their duty to their client, and therefore reversed and remanded the case for an evidentiary hearing to determine whether that failure had prejudiced him. 596 F. 2d 1214, 1223 (CA5 1979). If such a hearing should one day be held in accordance with the opinion of the Court of Appeals, and should Davis ultimately succeed in getting his conviction vacated, there will still be an opportunity for this Court to review any decision on the merits. In the meantime, it is difficult to see what harm would flow to the State if we were simply to let the judgment of the Court of Appeals stand. There is no realistic possibility that the judgment could “spaw[n] any legal consequences.” United States v. Munsingwear, supra, at 41. Thus, there is no particular justification for this Court’s intervention.

Accordingly, I would simply deny the petition for a writ of certiorari.

    Delaware State Board of Education v. Evans et al.; and Alexis I. du Pont School District et al. v. Evans et al.
   C. A. 3d Cir. Certiorari denied.

The Chief Justice agrees these cases merit review here but only when a full Court is available to consider the important issues presented by the petitions for certiorari. Mr. Justice Stevens took no part in the consideration or decision of these petitions.

Reported below: 582 F. 2d 750.

Mr. Justice Rehnquist,

with whom Mr. Justice Stewart and Mr. Justice Powell join,

dissenting.

In 1971, respondents in these cases instituted an action seeking the desegregation of the schools in the city of Wilmington, Del. The litigation has now culminated in a countywide remedy more Draconian than any ever approved by this Court. The order provides for the dissolution of the county’s 11 independent school boards, most of which were locally elected. In their place, the District Court “created” a single countywide school system, to be run by court-appointed officials for five years. Within this judicial school district, which comprises in excess of 60% of all the public school students in the State of Delaware, every single student will be reassigned away from his or her local school for a period of no less than three years and for as long as nine years. The plan is designed to accomplish a racial balance in each and every school, in every grade, in all of the former 11 districts, mirroring the racial balance of the total area involved.

The three-judge District Court which initially found a desegregation remedy to be warranted, expressly found that 10 of the 11 county school districts had established fully unitary school systems after this Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U. S. 483 (1954). Evans v. Buchanan, 393 F. Supp. 428, 437, and n. 19 (Del.), summarily aff’d, 423 U. S. 963 (1975). Only the school district in the city of Wilmington was found to have engaged in discriminatory conduct — conduct which the court did not find to be purposeful. The court did find, however, that the acts of other governmental entities resulted in an interdistrict violation. I think this Court should grant certiorari to review the District Court’s imposition of this remedy, even accepting as settled the finding that there was an interdistrict violation warranting an interdistrict remedy.

One principle that has been continually emphasized in the desegregation opinions of this Court is that the “scope of the remedy” formulated by a district court must be tailored to fit “the nature and extent of the constitutional violation.” Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, 402 U. S. 1, 16 (1971). In order to effectively fulfill this mandate, we have made clear that district courts must “determine how much incremental segregative effect [the constitutional] violations had on the racial distribution of the . . . school population'as . . . compared to what it would have been in the absence of such constitutional violations.” Dayton Board of Education v. Brinkman, 433 U. S. 406, 420 (1977). Without such a finding, it would not be possible for a judge to fulfill the equitable limitations commanded by Swann.

In this case, however, the courts have ignored Swann and Dayton, and held that as a matter of law, no such findings were required. The District Court explicitly acknowledged that it did not apply this standard in adopting the remedy in issue. The court stated that it was “fully cognizant” that the submitted plans “were formulated without exacting consideration of whether they returned the Northern New Castle County schools to the precise position they would have assumed ‘but for’ the found constitutional violations.” 447 F. Supp. 982, 1009 (Del. 1978). The Court of Appeals on review again conceded that the District Court did not make the inquiry identified by Dayton but nevertheless found this omission excusable because Wilmington had previously been subject to de jure segregation.

This Court has never held that a remedy dismantling local education or devising a scheme of total racial balance is warranted simply upon a finding of de jure segregation, and in fact, Swann held precisely to the contrary. Whatever the nature of the constitutional violation, the standard articulated in Dayton, as well as in the predecessors to Dayton, requires the District Court to impose changes in local education only to the extent necessary to cure the violation. The Court of Appeals’ express departure from the precedents of this Court certainly warrants review.

Our cases indicate that the need for specific findings is particularly compelling when the district court seeks to impose a remedy curtailing local control of education. The District Court here has chosen such a remedy, actually abolishing the county’s system of education and disenfranchising the voters who formerly retained popular control of education. This has been mandated even though no court has found that these local school boards have engaged in any purposeful discrimination since 1954. While on my assumption the absence of purpose does not negate the need for an interdistrict remedy in this case, the conduct of the boards is still relevant to the formulation of that interdistrict remedy. When the “nature of the violation” does not include purposeful discrimination on the part of the school boards, I am not convinced that a truly “equitable” remedy would abolish those governmental entities that had not been found to purposefully participate in the perpetration of the violations. I had throught that Milliken v. Bradley, 418 U. S. 717 (1974), would forcefully preclude district courts from imposing such a remedy without the most exhaustive comparison of the nature of the violation and the need for this form of disestablishment of local government.

In Milliken, this Court declined to permit the federal courts to impose a remedy of this nature without the most exacting showing of necessity. The Court emphasized that “local control over the educational process affords citizens an opportunity to participate in decisionmaking, permits the structuring of school programs to fit local needs, and encourages 'experimentation, innovation, and a healthy competition for educational excellence/ ” Id., at 742. The Court not only emphasized these important benefits of local control, but also recognized the inability of courts and judges to assume that role, noting that “[t]his is a task which few, if any, judges are qualified to perform. . . Id., at 744. In Dayton, this Court reiterated that “local autonomy of school districts is a vital national tradition.” 433 U. S., at 410. It was because of these considerations that Dayton insisted that “the case for displacement of the local authorities by a federal court in a school desegregation case must be satisfactorily established by factual proof and justified by a reasoned statement of legal principles.” Ibid. Yet the District Court has here treated a series of independent school districts much as if they were a “railroad in reorganization,” without any attempt to comply with the requirements of Milliken and Dayton. Alexis I. du Pont School Dist. v. Evans, 439 U. S. 1375, 1379 (1978) (Rehnquist, J., in chambers). If we have any remaining commitment to this “vital national tradition,” I think this Court should be certain, before it allows the dismantling of not 1 but 11 independent school boards, that the violations found warrant this total substitution of judicial for popular control of local education.

Thus I think the principal reason this case merits review is because there is substantial doubt that the abolition of these 11 school districts is an appropriate equitable remedy for the interdistrict violation found by the courts. In addition, I think the failure to apply Dayton may also have resulted in a pupil reassignment far more comprehensive and disruptive than that which the established violations warranted. My reading of the District Court opinion indicates that the court devised a remedy creating complete racial balance in every grade of every school throughout the county despite the existence of substantial residential segregation. This is a clear violation of the ruling in Swann. For the reasons expressed in my opinion dissenting from the denial of certiorari in Cleveland Bd. of Ed. v. Reed, 445 U. S. 935 (1980), and by Mr. Justice Powell in his opinion dissenting from the dismissal of certiorari in Estes v. Metropolitan Branch, Dallas NAACP, 444 U. S. 437 (1980), I do not believe that such an assumption should go unreviewed by this Court. As in those cases, there is substantial record evidence here indicating that the classroom makeup achieved by the order would not exist “but for” the supposed constitutional violations. The District Court found that while 43.6% of the city of Wilmington’s residents are black, only 4.5% of the county suburban residents are black. Specifically, the court found that since 1950 there had been extensive “white flight” from the city to the suburbs and that “the result of these demographic changes is that the black population of the County is heavily concentrated within the City of Wilmington.” 393 F. Supp., at 432-433. The court concluded that “the residential demographic change of the past two decades has had a striking effect on the school attendance patterns in the County.” Id., at 433. The court did not find that these residential patterns were attributable solely (or even principally) to governmental discrimination. Therefore to devise a remedy on the assumption that absent the constitutional violations there would be precise racial parity in the county neighborhoods is impermissible under any traditional notion of an equitable remedy to restore the situation as it would have existed prior to the assumed wrong.

This Court does a disservice to local government and the people of Delaware, and very likely in the long run to the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, by once again declining to review a case of such fundamental importance.

      The three-judge court identified the Wilmington school board’s adoption of voluntary attendance zones, which “although possibly designed to minimize the flight of white families with school-aged-children" to the suburbs, as possibly having the opposite effect. 393 F. Supp., at 435. Thus the court specifically recognized that the policy in question may well not have been purposefully discriminatory, even though it may have had a discriminatory effect. Even the discriminatory effect, however, was only speculative since the District Court only found that “to some extent, . . . discriminatory school policies in Wilmington may have affected the relative racial balance. . . .” Id., at 436 (emphasis added). I am prepared to assume, arguendo, that this Court’s summary affirmance settles the question of an interdistrict violation, however, and would review only the imposition of the remedy.

Mr. Justice Brennan and Mr. Justice Marshall,

dissenting.

Adhering to our views that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 227, 231 (1976), we would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentence in this case.

    Rivera v. United States.
   C. A. 1st Cir. Certiorari denied.

Mr. Justice Brennan,

with whom Mr. Justice Marshall joins,

dissenting.

In December 1976 petitioner was indicted for possessing with intent to distribute one kilogram of heroin, in violation of 21 U. S. C. §841 (a)(1). He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to 12 years in prison and a 3-year special parole term. Subsequently, petitioner was indicted for conspiracy to distribute the same kilogram of heroin, in violation of 21 U. S. C. § 846. He pleaded guilty to the second charge and was sentenced to 14 years in prison and a 3-year special parole term to be served concurrently with the first sentence. Petitioner challenged the second conviction under 28 U. S. C. § 2256, alleging that it was barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause. The District Court denied relief, and the Court of Appeals affirmed.

Indictments for conspiracy and for the underlying substantive offense are indictments arising out of the same criminal transaction. Dempsey v. United States, 423 U. S. 1079 (1976) (Brennan, J., dissenting); Ciuzio v. United States, 416 U. S. 995 (1974) (Brennan, J., dissenting). Therefore, I would grant the petition for certiorari and remand with directions that the writ of habeas corpus be granted and the second conviction vacated. I adhere to my view that the Double Jeopardy Clause requires prosecution in one proceeding, except in extremely limited circumstances not present here, of “all the charges against a defendant that grow out of a single criminal act, occurrence, episode, or transaction.” Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U. S. 436, 453-454 (1970) (Brennan, J., concurring). See Thompson v. Oklahoma, 429 U. S. 1053 (1977) (Brennan, J., dissenting), and cases collected therein.

    Jernigan v. Louisiana.
   Sup. Ct. La. Cer-tiorari denied.

Mr. Justice White,

with whom Mr. Justice Brennan and Mr. Justice Marshall join,

dissenting.

The New Orleans, La., police received an anonymous telephone call informing them that a black male wearing a yellow shirt and blue pants and armed with a handgun could be found sitting in Sander's Bar. A radio dispatch went out, and Officer Williams proceeded to the bar. Of the 10 or 12 persons in the bar, petitioner was the only one wearing a yellow shirt and blue pants. Officer Williams approached petitioner, directed him to stand, and frisked him. The officer detected a gun in petitioner’s pants pocket; he removed a .38-caliber revolver and arrested petitioner who was charged with violation of Louisiana law by possession of a firearm after having been previously convicted of a felony.

In sustaining the trial court’s denial of petitioner’s motion to suppress the gun as illegally seized, the Louisiana Supreme Court noted that the Fourth Amendment would render the evidence inadmissible if the officer did not have sufficient knowledge of facts and circumstances to amount to reasonable cause for an investigatory detention. The court also noted that Adams v. Williams, 407 U. S. 143 (1972), recognized that an informer’s tip can provide a police officer with reasonable cause to detain and question a suspect. But the court noted further the difference between this case and Adams, for the narrow issue presented here was whether an informer’s tip could provide reasonable cause if the tip was anonymous. According to the court, if the information received from the anonymous tipster carried enough indicia of reliability, such as specificity of the information and corroboration by independent police work, the anonymous tip was sufficient. Moreover, prompt police action was justified where the information would indicate an immediate and real danger to the public.

We have not directly decided whether an anonymous tip may furnish reasonable suspicion for a stop and frisk. We have emphasized the specificity of the information provided, the independent corroboration by the police officer, and the danger to the public. See, e. g., Adams, supra; Draper v. United States, 358 U. S. 307 (1959). But in the decided cases, these factors were not the only indicia of reliability. The informers in Adams and Draper were known to the officer and were known to have provided reliable information in the past. The same cannot be said of an anonymous tipster.

Arguably, the decision of the Louisiana Supreme Court is inconsistent with our prior cases which require that reasonable suspicion be based on a sufficiently reliable informer’s tip. I would grant certiorari for this reason and also because the reliability of an anonymous or unidentified tipster is an issue that has divided the Federal Courts of Appeals. Compare United States v. McLeroy, 584 F. 2d 746 (CA5 1978), and United States v. Robinson, 536 F. 2d 1298 (CA9 1976) (no reasonable suspicion), with United States v. Hernandez, 486 F. 2d 614 (CA7 1973) (per curiam) (reasonable suspicion), cert. denied, 415 U. S. 959 (1974). See also United States v. Gorin, 564 F. 2d 159 (CA4 1977), cert. denied, 434 U. S. 1080 (1978), and United States v. Unverzagt, 424 F. 2d 396 (CA8 1970) (identity of informer known but no proof of his reliability; reasonable suspicion found). The state courts are similarly divided. Accordingly, I dissent from the denial of certiorari.
