READ

District court judge's representation of another judge at a much earlier stage of the case and on far different issues did not involve the same "matter in controversy" for purposes of 28 U.S.C. section 455(b)(2); thus he did not err in declining to recuse himself. The finding of substantial compliance with the Revised Desegregation and Education Plan was not erroneous, and the grant of partial unitary status is affirmed.
