Description
This consolidated appeal concerns two cases involving lawyers. On of them, Getty, was disciplined, and the other, Collis, was disbarred in state proceedings in Kentucky. After exhausting state remedies and having certiorari denied by the United States Supreme Court, each filed a civil rights complaint in the United States District Court which was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Our appellate issues are narrow procedural problems under the three-judge court statute, 28 U.S.C. § 2281 (1970). In the midst of a welter of at least somewhat conflicting case precedent, and without ever getting close to the merits of the issues which are of such importance to the litigants, in the Collis case we affirm; in the Getty case we vacate and remand.
