United States Supreme Court

394 U.S. 97

Bokulich et al.  v.  Jury Commission of Greene County et al.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama

No. 1255, Misc.  Argued: N/A --- Decided: March 3, 1969

Appellants had been arrested on charges of grand larceny. They sought an injunction to prevent the grand jury from considering the larceny charges on the ground that Negroes had been systematically excluded from the grand jury. The District Court found that the grand jury was illegally constituted but refused to prevent it from considering the criminal charges.

Held: The District Court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to enjoin the grand jury proceedings.

289 F.Supp. 181, affirmed.


Morton Stavis, Arthur Kinoy, William M. Kunstler, Donald A. Jelinek, and Alvin Bronstein for appellants.

MacDonald Gallion, Attorney General of Alabama, and Robert P. Bradley, Assistant Attorney General, for appellees.


PER CURIAM.
