UpLaw has not yet analyzed Tannenbaum v. New York. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.

No. 993.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided June 12, 1967. APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW YORK.

Osmond K. Fraenkel and Stanley Fleishman for appellant.

PER CURIAM.

The motion to dismiss is granted and the appeal is dismissed as moot.

MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN would reverse the judgment of the lower court.

MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WARREN, dissenting.

I dissent from the dismissal of this appeal as moot for the reasons stated in my dissent in Jacobs v. New York, ante, p. 431. In my view, the question presented by this case is extremely important and requires a decision on the merits by this Court. I would note probable jurisdiction and set the case for argument.

MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS dissents. (See dissent set forth in Jacobs v. New York, ante, at 436.)
