## Opinion text

J. SKELLY WRIGHT, Circuit Judge,
dissenting in part:
Since jurisdiction in this case is laid under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1970) and 28 U.S.C. § 1343 (1970), and no jurisdictional amount is required to sustain that jurisdiction in the District Court, see Douglas v. City of Jeannette, 319 U.S. 157 , 63 S.Ct. 877 , 87 L.Ed. 1324 (1943), I respectfully dissent from that part of the court’s opinion which requires a transfer of this case to the Superior Court.
