Abstract
Question of qualification of District Court Judge Follmer to sit in case of Allen v. duPont. Order: Appointment of Judge Follmer by Justice Burton draft of order; correspondence.
Burton, J., sitting as Circuit Justice for the Third Circuit, refuses to revoke his designation of Judge Follmer. Correspondence cites "repeated instances" in which plaintiff Allen has "resorted to law suits against judges in order to disqualify them" and suggests that a "possible gross abuse of judicial procedure [by plaintiff Allen] may be involved."
