CHARLES SANDERS,
Plaintiff--Appellant,

SAMUEL L. CAUTHEN, ET AL.,
Defendants-Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
Lower Court No. 5:98-CV-130-BrS
February 29, 2000
Before JOLLY, JONES, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appellant Charles Sanders sued the Adams County Board of
Supervisors and the Natchez-Adams County Board of Trustees
(“Appellees”), alleging that the procedure used to constitute the
school board of the Natchez-Adams School District violated the Equal
Protection Clause of the United States Constitution. The district
court granted summary judgment in favor of Appellees.
Having reviewed the parties’ briefs, the district court’s
opinion, and pertinent sections of the record, this Court agrees that
the Mississippi Uniform School Law did not impliedly repeal those
sections of the Mississippi Code that govern the constitution of the

board of a special municipal separate school district. This Court
therefore affirms for essentially the same reasons stated by the
district court.
AFFIRMED.
