Baccus v. Parrish

GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:* The appellants challenged the creation of a task force empowered to make recommendations to the governor of Texas on the closing of certain schools for the mentally retarded. The appellants originally brought this challenge in Texas state court and the appellees removed the case to the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The appellants filed a motion to remand which was subsequently denied by the district court. The district court then declared the case moot and granted the appellees' motion for summary judgment. The appellants now appeal the district court's denial of the motion to remand and the grant of summary judgment. We affirm.
