Affirmed on appeal from D. C. S. C. Mr. ‍​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‍Justice Harlan is of the view that the Court lacks jurisdiction over this direct appeal from decision of ‍​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‍three-judge court denying in-junctive relief because state statute attacked was not one of “general and statewide application.” Moody v. Flowers, 387 U. ‍​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‍S. 97, 101 (1967). Therefore, he would vacate judgment of District Court and remand case to that ‍​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‍court so that it might enter a fresh decree from which timely appeal could be taken to the ‍​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‍Court of Appeals. See Rockefeller v. Catholic Medical Center, 397 U. S. 820 (1970).
