Before K.K. HALL and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and ROBERT R. MERHIGE, Jr., Senior United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, sitting by designation.

PER CURIAM:

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.
