Mr. Justice Brennan,
with whom Mr. Justice Douglas joins, dissenting in No. 71-162, ante, p. 564, and dissenting in part in No. 70-36.
Although I agree with Part I of the Court’s opinion in No. 70-36, I also agree with my Brother Marshall that “respondent [s] [were] denied due process when [their] contracts] [were] not renewed and [they were] not informed of the reasons and given an opportunity to respond.” Ante, at 590. Since respondents were entitled to summary judgment on that issue, I would affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals in No. 71-162, and, to the extent indicated by my Brother Marshall, I would modify the judgment of the Court of Appeals in No. 70-36.
