                    TITLE 28--JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION
 
              CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (Continued)
 
PART 51--PROCEDURES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF SECTION 5 OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965, AS AMENDED--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart E--Processing of Submissions
 
Sec. 51.49  Absence of judicial review.

    The decision of the Attorney General not to object to a submitted 
change or to withdraw an objection is not reviewable. The preclearance 
by the Attorney General of a voting change does not constitute the 
certification that the voting change satisfies any other requirement of 
the law beyond that of section 5, and, as stated in section 5, 
``(n)either an affirmative indication by the Attorney General that no 
objection will be made, nor the Attorney General's failure to object, 
nor a declaratory judgment entered under this section shall bar a 
subsequent action to enjoin enforcement of such qualification, 
prerequisite, standard, practice, or procedure.''
