No. 87-6958.
    Rutherford v. Securities and Exchange Commission.
   Appeal from C. A. 9th Cir. Motion of appellant

for leave to proceed in forma pauperis denied. Appellant is allowed until July 18, 1988, within which to pay the docketing fee required by Rule 45(a) and to submit a statement as to jurisdiction in compliance with Rule 33 of the Rules of this Court.

Justice Brennan, Justice Marshall, Justice Blackmun, and Justice Stevens,

dissenting.

For the reasons expressed in Brown v. Herald Co., 464 U. S. 928 (1983), we would dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction and, treating the papers whereon the appeal was taken as a petition for writ of certiorari, deny the petition for writ of certio-rari without reaching the merits of the motion to proceed informa pauperis.
