MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL 
  

Plaintiffs-Appellants respectfully move the Court 

to dismiss the appeal pending in this action: 

1) The appeal from a judgment of a three-judge 

district court was filed to protect the jurisdiction of 

this Court in the event that the Supreme Court of the United 

States dismissed for want of jurisdiction; 

2) Since the filing of the appeal in this Court 

the Supreme Court of the United States has entered its 

opinion and judgment and has remanded the case to the dis- 

trict court. Norwood v. Harrison, S. Ct. No. 72-77, June
