Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc Denied Feb. 13, 1975.

Elliott Moore, Deputy Associate Gen. Counsel, N.L.R.B., Washington, D.C., Louis V. Baldovin, Jr., Director, Region 23, Houston, Tex., Peter Nash, Gen. Counsel, N.L.R.B., Washington, D.C., for respondent.
Before BELL, SIMPSON and MORGAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Petitioners seek to appeal from the refusal of the General Counsel of the NLRB to issue a complaint on charges filed by petitioners. There had theretofore been an appeal to the General Counsel from the refusal of the Regional Director to issue a complaint on the charges. The Board has moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
We find no basis for departing from the teaching of the Supreme Court that '. . . the Board's General Counsel has unreviewable discretion to refuse to institute an unfair labor practice complaint.'
