Gerstein v. Coe


No. 73-1157


Decided June 3, 1974
417 U.S. 279

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

Syllabus

State’s appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1253 from a declaratory judgment of a three-judge District Court invalidating a state statute dismissed for want of jurisdiction, since § 1253 does not authorize appeal to this Court from the grant or denial of declaratory relief alone.

Dismissed for want of jurisdiction; certiorari before judgment to Court of Appeals denied.
