Opinion
The motion to dismiss is granted. The case does not arise under 28 U. S. C. § 2282, requiring the convening of a three-judge court. See I. L. G. W. U. v. Donnelly Garment Co., 304 U. S. 243. Therefore it cannot be directly brought here for review under 28 U. S. C. § 1253, and the appeal must be dismissed. Appellant is free to pursue his perfected appeal in the Court of Appeals.
