Although the court's order is on appeal, counsel has sought to abide by the letter and spirit of the court's order. Counsel, however, brings to the court's attention an egregious situation involving a child of the Little Rock School District, who elected to attend a PCS SD school Clinton Elementary, with a request that the court assign the matter for inquiry and report to the Office of Desegregation Monitoring.

ORDER FEB -6 1004 CORMACK, CLERK JAMES W Mc oEP cLERK .B'f PLAINTIFF DEFENDANTS INTERVENORS INTERVENORS In their motion filed February 3, 2004 (Doc. No. 3832), Joshua Intervenors assert that " [t]he court has entered an order limiting the Joshua Intervenors' counsel with respect to monitoring activities." I have no idea what order Joshua Intervenors are referring to. I do not believe that I have entered an order that would, in anyway, limit Joshua Intervenors' counsel's duty to represent his clients, or to take appropriate steps to address the "egregious situation" alleged in the February 3 motion. To the contrary, I would expect counsel to "do the necessary" with respect to clients. Accordingly, Joshua Intervenors' Motion (Doc. No. 3832) is DENIED as moot. IT IS SO ORDERED this ~ay ofFebruary, 2004. WM. R . WILSON, JR.
