   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1816
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - School Desegregation. The district court did not err in 
   applying the standards set out in Rufo v. Inmates of Suffolk County Jail, 
   502 U.S. 367 (1992) to the defendant school district's motion to modify or 
   terminate the consent decree governing the desegregation of the district; 
   nor did the court abuse its discretion in modifying the decree as the 
   district established changed circumstances warranting the modification of 
   the decree and the proposed modification - transfer of middle school 
   grades to a new campus - was suitably tailored to the changed 
   circumstances; under the circumstances, the court is confident that the 
   district court did not intend that is Order would terminate the entire 
   consent decree, and the court would so construe its order.
