What follows is an opinion from the Supreme Court of the United States. Your task is to identify the manner in which the Court took jurisdiction. The Court uses a variety of means whereby it undertakes to consider cases that it has been petitioned to review. The most important ones are the writ of certiorari, the writ of appeal, and for legacy cases the writ of error, appeal, and certification. For cases that fall into more than one category, identify the manner in which the court takes jurisdiction on the basis of the writ. For example, Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803), an original jurisdiction and a mandamus case, should be coded as mandamus rather than original jurisdiction due to the nature of the writ. Some legacy cases are "original" motions or requests for the Court to take jurisdiction but were heard or filed in another court. For example, Ex parte Matthew Addy S.S. & Commerce Corp., 256 U.S. 417 (1921) asked the Court to issue a writ of mandamus to a federal judge. Do not code these cases as "original" jurisdiction cases but rather on the basis of the writ.

Opinion:
HUGHES et al. v. WMCA, INC., et al.
No. 623.
Decided February 1, 1965
John H. Hughes, pro se, for appellants in No. 623.
.Leonard B. Sand, Max Gross, Leo A. Larkin, Jack B. ■Weinstein and Robert B. McKay for appellees in No, 623.

Edmund D. Campbell and E. A. Prichard for Mann et al., and Henry E. Howell, Jr., Leonard B. Sachs and Sidney H. Kelsey for Glanville et al., appellees in No. 718.
Together with No. 718, Davis, Secretary, State Board of Elections, et al. v. Mann et al., on appeal from the' United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Per Curiam.
The motions to affirm are granted and. the judgments are affirmed.
Mr. Justice White and Mr. Justice Goldberg join the affirmance in No. 623 since it is their understanding that it in no way interferes with the power of the District Court, in the light of circumstances as they may develop, to vacate or .otherwise modify its order requiring an election in the fall of 1965.
