CRS-35 to Stotts, it chose to vacate the judgment below and remand for consideration of mootness. By insteads grounding its ruling on a percieved conflict be; tween the decree and both § 703(h), the seniority provision, and the more general remedial limits of § 706(g), Stotts implied that a district court lcannot enter a consent decree that contains make-whole relief unless thel plaintiffs prove actual victim status. Furthermore, although the Court did not repudiate existing circuit court decisions permitting affirmativef action asia remedy in litigated cases, Stotts may have implications'here as well since the majority rationale is not limited by its terms to consent, decree modifications. _lndeed, the consideration on which the Court based its holding 4- the putative conflict between the mandated relief and theri proof requirements of § 706(g) -— may be no less central in the litigation context. POST STOTTS LITIGATION The.courts to rule on the implications of Stotts for the preferential treatment of minorities in layoff situations, or for affirmative action more generally, have not borne.out this dramatic potential, however. For the most part, these courts have found Stotts inapplicable in.a variety of situations, as where seniority considerations were not at issue, or where the departure ._:from_the seniority based layoff procedures favoring minorities had been the subject‘of collective bargaining between the employer and the unions. Another - relevant distinction has been found where, unlike Stotts, the affirmative action plan was voluntarily adopted by the employer and not the product of judicial compulsion. Since virtually all the post—Stott cases have involved public employers, several courts have found constitutional rather than stat~
