Before BIGGS, McLAUGHLIN and KALODNER, Circuit Judges.

BIGGS, Circuit Judge.

This court on February 16, 1948, reversed the judgment of the court below holding that Section 10 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.A. § 1009 (a), permitted judicial review of a deportation order entered by the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization,1 and a decree enforcing our decision was entered on the same day. It now appears that on August 26, 1947 while the case was pending on appeal the respondent, the then Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization, Ugo Carusi, resigned his office and was succeeded by Watson Miller on August 27, 1947 as Acting Commissioner. Mr. Miller's nomination to the office by the President was confirmed by the Senate on December 18, 1947. See Section 7 of the

168 F.2d 1015
Act of March 3, 1891, 8 U.S.C.A. § 101. On June 21, 1948 the Solicitor General moved this court for reconsideration of our judgment on the issue that the case had abated or alternatively for the substitution of Mr. Miller in place of Mr. Carusi as the respondent. The petitioner, Trinler, joins in the motion for substitution of Mr. Miller for Mr. Carusi and insists that the action has not abated. While the Solicitor General is of the opinion that the action has abated he states none the less that he takes this position reluctantly since he desires to appeal our ruling to the Supreme Court

Both parties rely on the provisions of Rule 25(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C.A. following section 723c. This rule is inapplicable to proceedings in this court. The pertinent rule is 28(5) of the Rules of this court which is based on Section 11 of the Act of February 13, 1925, 28 U.S.C.A. § 780. Section 11 provides in pertinent part that if an officer of the United States dies or resigns, "* * * it shall be competent for the court wherein the action * * * is pending, whether the court be one of first instance or...
