OHIO v. WYANDOTTE CHEMICALS CORP. ET AL.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided March 23, 1971

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Paul W. Brown, Attorney General of Ohio, argued the cause and filed a brief for plaintiff.

John M. Moelmann argued the cause for defendant Wyandotte Chemicals Corp. With him on the briefs were Thomas J. Weithers and Milton F. Mallender. Ian W. Outerbridge, by special leave of Court, argued the cause for defendant Dow Chemical Co. of Canada, Ltd. With him on the briefs was Richard W. Galiher. Harley J. McNeal argued the cause and filed briefs for defendant Dow Chemical Co.

Peter L. Strauss argued the cause for the United States as amicus curiae. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Griswold, Assistant Attorney General Kashiwa, and James R. Moore.

Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert E. Derengoski, Solicitor General, and M. Robert Carr, Assistant Attorney General, filed a brief for the State of Michigan as amicus curiae.

MR. JUSTICE HARLAN delivered the opinion of the Court.

By motion for leave to file a bill of complaint, Ohio seeks to invoke this Court's original jurisdiction. Because of the importance and unusual character of the issues tendered we set the matter for oral argument, inviting the Solicitor General to participate and to file a brief on behalf of the United States, as amicus curiae. For reasons that follow we deny the motion for leave to file.
