Dickson v. Ford

Supreme Court of the United States
Dickson v. Ford, 419 U.S. 1085 (1974)
95 S. Ct. 672

Dickson v. Ford

Opinion of the Court

Appeal from D. C. W. D. Tex. This is an appeal, assertedly brought under 28 U. S. C. § 1253, from a three-judge court order dismissing a complaint which sought to enjoin a federal statute upon the ground of its unconstitutionality, 28 U. S. C. § 2282. The court found the case “non-justiciable” because the appellant lacked standing to sue and because the case involved a “political question.” Where a three-judge court dismisses a complaint as being non justiciable, appeal does not lie to this Court under 28 U. S. C. § 1253. Gonzalez v. Automatic Employees Credit Union, ante, p. 90. Accordingly, the order is vacated and case remanded so that a fresh order may be entered from which a timely appeal may be taken to the United States Court of Appeals. 28 U. S. C. § 1291.
