United States Fifth Circuit

In a suit brought by four class members of a settled class action discrimination lawsuit to enforce an Order approving a Consent Decree in that action and to recover back-pay and interest under its terms, summary judgment against plaintiffs is affirmed where Texas procedures governed enforcement of plaintiffs' judgment and, under Texas law, the action was dormant and forever time-barred.
