What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. Your task is to identify the type of district court decision or judgment appealed from (i.e., the nature of the decision below in the district court).

PER CURIAM.
This is a suit for an injunction or a declaratory judgment against a “directive order” which the National War Labor Board issued in May, 1943. The plaintiff is the United States Gypsum Company. The defendants include the Board, its members, the Director of Economic Stabilization, the Economic Stabilization Board, and its members. The defendants moved to dismiss the complaint or, in the alternative, for summary judgment. The District Court denied this motion and we allowed a special appeal.
This court afterwards decided Employers Group of Motor Freight Carriers v. National War Labor Board, 79 U.S.App.D.C. -, 143 F.2d 145, certiorari denied 65 S.Ct. 72. That case governs this one. The chief difference is that the Gypsum Company’s complaint alleges that the Boárd has reported the fact of noncompliance to the Director of Economic Stabilization and to the President, whereas the complaint of Employers Group alleged in effect that the Board might make such reports. This difference is not material. The Employers Group case decided that the Board’s order was not enforceable and therefore not reviewable; that any reports which the Board might make would be merely advisory ; and that the correctness of administrative advice cannot be reviewed by the courts. Such advice is no more subject to review after it has been given than before,
Reversed.
Appellants say in their brief that no such reports have been made. But the question before us is the sufficiency of the complaint.
The complaint alleges that the Director, and unnamed agencies of the Government, “are about to or have taken” action to withhold priorities, etc., from plaintiff. This is not a statement of fact but a prediction and has no legal effect. Cf. National War Labor Board v. Montgomery Ward & Co., 79 U.S.App.D.C. —, 144 F.2d 528.
