Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit December 16, 1982, No. 82-3435 (Williams v. City of New Orleans)

lead-opinion

TATE, Circuit Judge:

The plaintiffs appeal from the district court’s denial of approval to a proposed consent decree in this Title VII employment-discrimination case. 543 F.Supp. 662 (E.D.La.1982). Such denial has been held to be an appealable order. Carson v. American Brands, Inc., 450 U.S. 79, 84 & n. 14, 101 S.Ct. 993, 998 & n. 14, 67 L.Ed.2d 59 (1981).
