United States Court of Appeals
For the First Circuit
No. 03-2415
SAMANTHA J. COMFORT, ETC., ET AL.,
Plaintiffs, Appellants,
v.
LYNN SCHOOL COMMITTEE ET AL.,
Defendants, Appellees.
ERRATA SHEET
The opinion of this Court issued on October 20, 2004 is
corrected as follows:
On page 4, line 9, change "claim" to "claims"
On page 4, line 10, insert "and Title VI" after "1983"
On page 20, line 7, insert "and Title VI" after both
instances of "1983"; change "claim" to "claims"
On page 20, line 10, insert after "claims" (both in the
traditional sense and in the sense that they have been
presented to this court without sufficiently developed
argumentation)
On page 48, line 17 — insert "and Title VI" after 1983;
change "claim" to "claims"; insert footnote 12 signal after
"claims." to read:
We note that "[d]iscrimination that violates
the Equal Protection Clause . . . committed
by an institution that accepts federal funds
also constitutes a violation of Title VI."
Gratz, 539 U.S. at 276 n.23. It follows,
then, that the denial of school transfers
based on race violates both Title VI as well
as section 1983.
