A thrеe-judge District Court was convened in response to apрellee’s complaint alleging that N. Y. Civil Service Law § 72 (1969), governing lеave of absence for mentally unfit civil service emplоyees, denied her the procedural due process guaranteed her by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Joined as defendants in her action, which sought both declaratory and injunctive relief, were the appellants Civil Servicе Commission of the State of New York and its members, and the city of New York.
The District Court sustained appéllee’s federal constitutiоnal claims, and enjoined the defendants from taking any actiоn under the challenged statutory provision, and also ordered that appellee be reinstated in her civil service рosition and given backpay by the city of New York. The city has not appealed from the judgments.
Appellee, in addition tо the previously described allegations, also asserted in hеr complaint that the city of New York in suspending her
had not followed
the procedures set forth in § 72. She particularly alleged that the doctor who examined her had not been selected
*458
in the manner prescribed by that statute. Appellants have not denied this allegation and, indeed, now acknowledge that the state law was not followed. The record therefore now establishes that the statutory procedure which appellee chаllenged has not been applied to her. It follows that she mаy have had a claim under state law against the city of New Yоrk; she may indeed have had a claim against the city of New Yоrk based on the procedural guarantees of the Fourtеenth Amendment by reason of the procedure which the city
in fact
fоllowed in suspending her. Since the city has not appealed, we have no occasion to consider any aspect of her claim against it, other than to say that neither of thе claims just described would authorize the convening of the threе-judge District Court under 28 U. S. C. § 2281.
Phillips
v.
United States,
“In so far as it is alleged that the assessments arе void because unauthorized by the Arizona statute, the injunction sought is obviously not upon the ground of the unconstitutionality of the state statute as tested by the Federal Constitution.” Ex parte Bransford,310 U. S. 354 , 358 (1940).
Stripped of thesе related contentions, appellee’s claim against appellant state Civil Service Commission amounts to a request for a determination of the constitutionality of a statute which, while administered by the Commission has never in fact been prоperly applied by the Commission or indeed by the city of New Yоrk to her. Since the record now makes it clear that she has no standing to assert such a challenge, her complaint аs to the constitutionality of § 72 should be dismissed. See
Hagans
v.
Lavine,
Appelleе asserted no claim against appellant Civil Service Commission and its members other than her constitutional claim. On their appeal, therefore, the *459 judgment of the District Court as to them is vacated, and the case is remanded with instructions to dismiss ap-рellee’s complaint insofar as it sought relief against them.
So ordered.
