*727 IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the within and foregoing is the final judgment of this Court as to the geographical descriptions of the various legislative districts therein described.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the Court retains jurisdiction of this case for the limited purpose of appropriately disposing of such ancillary matters, not going to the merits of the case, as costs, attorneys fees, appropriate action as to those precincts which have been divided by this Order, and the like.
Our purpose is to enter a final judgment on the merits in this legislation in order that any party wishing to do so may promptly appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States as per its most recent Order in this case.
It being made known to the Court that the Counties of DeSoto, Panola and Yazoo have recently been redistricted in compliance with the one man one vote rule, the Court retains jurisdiction for the purpose of making any necessary amendment to this Judgment within ten (10) days in order that reapportionment plans will coincide within the electoral situation in said counties.
In order that the corrections herein appearing may be accomplished, our previous Judgment of April 11, 1979, filed herein is hereby withdrawn and set aside.
The Attorney General of Mississippi, one of the defendants in this case, will provide three (3) copies of this Judgment to all Circuit Clerks in the State of Mississippi, and one copy to each of the members of the Legislature.
