U.S. Supreme Court
Taylor v. McKeithen, 407 U.S. 191 (1972)
Taylor v. McKeithen
No. 71-784
Decided June 12, 1972
407 U.S. 191
Syllabus
The District Court in this litigation involving legislative reapportionment, after extensive hearings, approved a plan that departed from historical boundaries as necessary to avoid dilution of racial minority voting strength. The Court of Appeals, without opinion, reversed, adopting Louisiana's plan retaining those boundaries.
Held: Absent an explication of the reasons for its summary reversal of the District Court, the Court of Appeals' judgment is vacated and the case remanded.
Certiorari granted; vacated and remanded.
