Lake Charles American Press v. Francis

410 U.S. 901 | SCOTUS | 1973

Appeal from Sup. Ct. La. dismissed for want of substantial federal question.

Mr. Justice Douglas would postpone question of jurisdiction to hearing of case on the merits. Mr. Justice Brennan would dismiss appeal for want of jurisdiction, being of the view that the decision of the Louisiana Supreme Court was based on an adequate state ground.
