PER CURIAM:
Advertisement
Bernay Halsey, Jr., Johnny Allen, Jr., and Calvis Jefferies, three black South Carolina minors, brought this 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 action alleging racial discrimination resulting in unlawful school discipline and prosecution. The district court denied plaintiffs' motions to amend their complaint to add a cause of action for violations of the preclearance requirements of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1973c, and for class certification. The court then granted summary judgment in favor of all defendants. A review of the record, the briefs, and oral argument discloses that this appeal is utterly without merit. Finding no error, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.
