Task: songer_direct1

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the ideological directionality of the court of appeals decision, coded as "liberal" or "conservative". Consider liberal to be for the position of the prisoner; for those who claim their voting rights have been violated; for desegregation or for the most extensive desegregation if alternative plans are at issue; for the rights of the racial minority or women (i.e., opposing the claim of reverse discrimination); for upholding the position of the person asserting the denial of their rights. Consider the directionality to be "mixed" if the directionality of the decision was intermediate to the extremes defined above or if the decision was mixed (e.g., the conviction of defendant in a criminal trial was affirmed on one count but reversed on a second count or if the conviction was afirmed but the sentence was reduced). Consider "not ascertained" if the directionality could not be determined or if the outcome could not be classified according to any conventional outcome standards.

PER CURIAM.
The issue raised in this appeal by appellant, Kalamazoo Board of Education, was decided this day in an appeal by the Michigan State Board of Education in No. 79-1723. An issue there and the issue here is whether the district court erred in ordering implementation of recommendations in the Green-Cohen report with respect to the Kalamazoo school system. The panel in No. 79-1723, Weick and Brown, JJ. and Peck, Senior Judge, decided that the district judge did err in so ordering the implementation of such recommendations, and the order was vacated and the case was remanded. Since this panel agrees that the order vacating and remanding the order of the district court in No. 79-1723 is correct and agrees with the reasons stated therefor, this panel adopts the opinion in No. 79-1723 insofar as it relates to the issue presented here.
The order of the district court is therefore vacated and the case is remanded.
