Tracy v. Board of Regents of the University System, 208 F.3d 1313 (11th Cir. 2000)
2000 U.S. App. LEXIS 6789; 2000 WL 381404

Tracy v. Board of Regents of the University System

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellants brought related challenges to the University of Georgia’s use of race in its admissions process and to the mainte *1314 nance of historically black colleges within the state’s university system. The district court granted summary judgment to ap-pellees on all but one claim on standing and mootness grounds. After the appeal was filed in this case, the Supreme Court in the case of Texas v. Lesage, — U.S. -, 120 S.Ct. 467, 145 L.Ed.2d 347 (1999), clarified the standing requirements for plaintiffs challenging race-based admissions policies. It is therefore ORDERED that the judgment of the district court is VACATED and the case is REMANDED to that court for further consideration in light of Lesage.
