    The Supreme Court dismissed a certificate from the Circuit Court of Appeals certifying six questions in the case of American Bond & Mortgage Co. and Trianon, Inc. v. United States. While the certified questions were differently phrased than those in a prior case, they were substantively the same. The United States had brought suit to restrain a broadcasting station from disregarding an order of the Federal Radio Commission revoking its license and operating in defiance of the Radio Act. As in the prior case, the appellants failed to avail themselves of the right to appeal provided by the Act. The Court declined to answer the certified questions for the same reasons given in the previous case.

    282 U.S.

    374
    51 S.Ct. 118
    75 L.Ed. 395

    AMERICAN BOND & MORTGAGE COMPANY, and


    Trianon, Inc.,
    v.
    UNITED STATES of America.
    No. 210.
    Argued Dec. 5, 1930.
    Decided Jan. 5, 1931.

    Mr. George W. Swain, of Chicago, Ill., for American Bond & Mortgage
    Co. and another.
    Mr. Thomas D. Thacher, Sol. Gen., of Washington, D. C., for the United
    States.
    Mr. Justice ROBERTS delivered the opinion of the Court.

    The same Circuit Court of Appeals which certified questions in No. 29 (282 U.
    S. 367, 51 S. Ct. 115, 75 L. Ed. 388) also certified six questions in this case.
    While they are differently phrased, they are in substance the same.

    Here a suit in equity was brought by the United States to restrain the proprietor
    of a broadcasting station from disregarding an order of the Federal Radio
    Commission, revoking its license, and from operating in definance of the
    provisions of the Radio Act (47 USCA 81 et seq.). As in the other case, the
    appellants admittedly failed to avail themselves of the right of appeal afforded
    by the Act.

    The reasons stated in No. 29 for not answering the questions therein certified
    apply here. The certificate is dismissed.
