By amended complaint, Greene charged that City had since 1970 located seven community centers on racial bases and closed West Drive on racial bases. The district court granted appellees' motion to dismiss, for failure to state a claim, Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) (6),*fn1 the West Drive and budget deletion claims, and Greene "petition[ed] for [an] interlocutory appeal." Prior to the district court's certifying such petition, the district court proceeded to a non-jury trial of the community center location claim, which was dismissed with prejudice at the conclusion of Greene's proof. Greene thereafter filed a notice of appeal.
