[MAJORITY — Per Curiam:]
Per Curiam:
The motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is dismissed for the reason that the decision of the state court sought here to be reviewed was based upon a non-federal ground adequate to support it. Enterprise Irrigation District v. Farmers Canal Co., 243 U. S. 157, 165; Utley v. St. Petersburg, 292 U. S. 106, 111.
