1

On Mitchell, individually and as Attorney General of the United States, as defendants.

2

The alleged emergent nature of the claims for relief led the Court to give expedited consideration to the motion and proffered complaint and, having examined the complaint, we conclude it fails to state a claim against either of the defendants warranting the exercise of the original jurisdiction of this Court.

3

Accordingly, the motion for leave to file the said complaint is denied.

4

Mr. Justice HARLAN took no part in the consideration or decision of this motion.
