BRENNAN, J., Dissenting Opinion

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

408 U.S. 593

Perry v. Sindermann

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 70-36 Argued: January 18, 1972 --- Decided: June 29, 1972

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] contract[s] [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. [p605]
