JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
For dissenting opinion see Sun Oil Company v. FPC, 5 Cir., 1959, 266 F.2d 222, 227.
To that I would add the following:
I agree with the Court’s implicit holding that Hunt did not have the right to terminate existing jurisdiction and power of the Federal Power Commission to regulate the initial contract by the agreed cancellation prior to its expiration date. But Hunt, like the others, was entitled to a new Certificate on the “new” contract on and after the expiration date originally fixed in the initial contract. To this denial my dissent, therefore, applies with equal force.
Rehearing denied:
JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge, dissenting.
