Spannaus, Attorney General of Minnesota, et al. v. Hodgson et al.
[MAJORITY]
Appeal from D. C. Minn, dismissed for want of jurisdiction. An order granting only a declaratory judgment may not be appealed to this Court under 28 U. S. C. § 1253. Mitchell v. Donovan, 398 U. S. 427 (1970). It is of no consequence that a preliminary injunction was continued in effect until determination of this appeal, since no appeal was taken from the preliminary injunction. Mr. Justice Blacicmun took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
