Cousins et al.  v.  Wigoda

On Application for Stay

No. A-1.  Argued: N/A --- Decided: July 1, 1972

Respondent sought in state court a declaratory judgment that he had been duly elected as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention scheduled to convene on July 10, 1972, and an injunction prohibiting applicants from interfering. Applicants obtained a United States District Court injunction against the injunctive aspect of the state court action, but that injunction was vacated by the Court of Appeals.

Held: The state courts being available to applicants for vindication of their constitutional claims, the application for a stay of the Court of Appeals order is denied.

See: 463 F.2d 603.

MR. JUSTICE REHNQUIST, Circuit Justice.
