Byrne No. A-150 Decided July 29, 1972 409 U.S. 1219 ON APPLICATION FOR STAY Syllabus The District Court, in an in camera proceeding, ruled that intercepted conversations of applicants' counsel were not relevant to issues in their federal criminal trial, and the Court of Appeals, in affirming, held that the applicants had no standing to raise the question of relevancy. Held: The issue of relevancy, the resolution of which determined the issue of standing, required an adversary hearing, and a stay of the criminal trial is appropriate pending the filing of a petition for a writ of certiorari in this Court and the Court's action thereon.

Students Challenging Regulatory Agency Procedures (SCRAP) No. A-72 Decided July 19, 1972 * 409 U.S. 1207 ON APPLICATION FOR STAY Syllabus SCRAP, a student environmental association, secured from a three-judge District Court an injunction against the authorization by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) of a temporary 2.5% freight surcharge to be imposed across the board by most of the Nation's railroads.
