Description
MILBURN, Circuit Judge. Intervenor, International Association of Firefighters, Local Number 93 ("Union"), appeals the decision of the district court modifying the terms of a 1983 consent decree entered into between the Vanguards, an association of black and hispanic firefighters in Cleveland, Ohio, and the City of Cleveland ("City"). On appeal, the issues are (1) whether the district court abused its discretion when it modified the consent decree without applying the two-part test set forth in Rufo v. Inmates of Suffolk County Jail, 116 L. Ed. 2d 867, 112 S. Ct. 748 (1992), to determine whether the modification was warranted; and (2) whether the district court committed reversible error when it refused to hear evidence proffered by the Union concerning the validity of the City's 1984 and 1985 promotional examinations before approving the modification to the consent decree. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
