The following excerpt is from Thoms v. Heffernan, 473 F.2d 478 (2nd Cir. 1973):

1 In the instant case, the three-judge district court stated, "We have no reason to believe defendants will continue to enforce 53-255 upon notice of this decision; accordingly, we forbear to enter an injunction restraining them from enforcing it. Declaratory judgment may, however, enter that the statute is unconstitutional . . . ." Thoms v. Smith, 334 F. Supp. 1203, 1211 (D.Conn.1971).
