Dissenting Opinion

Justice Stevens, with whom Justice Marshall joins,

dissenting.

While I agree with the Court’s conclusion that the second question in the jurisdictional statement is insubstantial, I do not believe a court of law has the power simultaneously to dismiss and to accept jurisdiction of a single appeal from a single judgment, I therefore do not join the Court’s order.

Opinion of the Court

Appeal from Ct. App. N. Y. Probable jurisdiction noted limited to Question 1 presented by the statement as to jurisdiction. With respect to Question 2 presented by the statement as to jurisdiction, the appeal is dismissed for want of substantial federal question.
