Burnham Chemical Company and George B. Burnham, President v. Arthur E. Summerfield, Postmaster General of the United States
Opinion
In the District Court plaintiffs, appellants in this court, filed their complaint April 29, 1955, seeking a judgment declaring null and void Fraud Order No. 3006 issued by the Postmaster General pursuant to Rev. Stat. §§ 3929, 4041 (1875), as amended, 39 U.S.C.A. §§ 259, 732, and enjoining its enforcement on the ground of its alleged invalidity at the time it was issued June 20, 1925. The motion of plaintiffs for summary judg *389 ment was denied and that of the defendant Postmaster General was granted on the ground of plaintiffs’ laches. We affirm. This does not preclude appellants from initiating before the Postmaster General proceedings for such relief, if any, as they may be entitled to receive by reason of the current situation. 1
