United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit

266 F.2d 824 (2d Cir. 1959)

Opinion

No. 235, Docket 25354.

Argued April 6, 1959.

Decided April 28, 1959.

Joseph D. Tekulsky, New York City (Frederick B. Boyden, New York City, on the brief), for petitioner-appellee.

George K. Bernstein, Asst. Atty. Gen. of the State of New York (Louis J. Lefkowitz, Atty. Gen., Paxton Blair, Sol. Gen., Albany, N Y, Harold Borgwald and Allan N. Smiley, Asst. Attys. Gen., State of New York, on the brief), for respondents-appellants.

Before HINCKS, LUMBARD and WATERMAN, Circuit Judges.


The motion to dismiss as moot is denied, Judge Hincks dissenting.

On the merits, the Attorney General of the State of New York in behalf of the appellants questions controverted issues of fact found against the appellants by Judge Weinfeld. We think the findings sufficiently supported by the evidence; certainly they were not clearly erroneous.

On the opinion below, D.C.S.D.N.Y. 1958, 171 F. Supp. 558, the judgment is affirmed.

We wish to thank Messrs. Tekulsky and Boyden for their able representation of Bowers both here and below.
