Text: 55 Nassau County sought to design a police officers' entrance examination which would reduce the discriminatory impact of its hiring practices on minority candidates. Although the decision to redesign the exam certainly took race into account, the exam was administered and scored in a wholly race-neutral fashion. We conclude that race-neutral efforts to address and rectify the racially disproportionate effects of an entrance examination do not discriminate against non-minorities. On that basis, we find that the 68 white and Latino appellants, male and female, in this case fail to state a claim under the Equal Protection Clause, § 703 of Title VII, and §§ 106 and 107 of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. 56 Further, the district court did not err in: (1) not granting Appellants the right to replead, and (2) referring to the TDAC Report. 57 For the foregoing reasons, we AFFIRM the Memorandum of Decision and Order entered by the Honorable Jacob Mishler, District Judge for the Eastern District of New York.
