Task: sc_partywinning

What follows is an opinion from the Supreme Court of the United States. Your task is to identify whether the petitioning party (i.e., the plaintiff or the appellant) emerged victorious. The victory the Supreme Court provided the petitioning party may not have been total and complete (e.g., by vacating and remanding the matter rather than an unequivocal reversal), but the disposition is nonetheless a favorable one. Consider that the petitioning party lost if the Supreme Court affirmed or dismissed the case, or denied the petition. Consider that the petitioning party won in part or in full if the Supreme Court reversed, reversed and remanded, vacated and remanded, affirmed and reversed in part, affirmed and reversed in part and remanded, or vacated the case.

Per Curiam.
The motion for leave to file a petition for rehearing is denied upon the representation of the Attorney General of New York that the movant may file a new application “to withdraw the funds deposited with the New York City Treasurer” in the light of changed circumstances. See Zschernig v. Miller, 389 U. S. 429; Goldstein v. Cox, 389 U. S. 581.
Mr. Justice Douglas.
Since the only changed circumstances concern the intervening decision of this Court in Zschernig v. Miller, 389 U. S. 429, and since the rationale of that decision applies to custodial statutes such as New York has as well as to escheat statutes like Oregon’s, I would dispose of the case here and now (either after or without oral argument) and not require petitioner to retravel once more the long, arduous, and expensive path from New York’s surrogate court.
Mr. Justice Harlan would deny unconditionally the motion for leave to file a petition for rehearing, substantially for the reasons given in his dissenting opinion in United States v. Ohio Power Co., 353 U. S. 98, 99.
Mr. Justice Fortas and Mr. Justice Marshall took no part in the consideration or decision of this motion.
