PER CURIAM.

This is a petition under § 24(a) of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, 49 Stat. 803, 15 U.S.C.A. § 79x(a), seeking review of an order of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued October 11, 1945, approving a certain plan of reorganization submitted by New England Public Service Company under § 11(e) of the Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 79k(e). For the background, see our opinion in Harry C. Blatch-ley, Petitioner, 157 F.2d 894.

Com’n, 3 Cir., 1945, 151 F.2d 217.

The petition for review is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
