Griffith v. Illinois

Opinion of the Court

Appeal from App. Ct. Ill., 5th Dist., dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Treating the papers whereon the appeal was taken as a petition for writ of cer-tiorari, certiorari denied.

Dissenting Opinion

Justice White,

dissenting.

I agree with the majority that this case is not a proper appeal but, for the reason stated in my dissent from denial of certiorari in Nyflot v. Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety, 474 U. S. 1027 (1985), I would grant certiorari.
