Appeals in this case, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is vacated and the
case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for such action as it may deem

the Court of Appeals, we see no reason for vacating the Court of Appeals'
judgments and, therefore, dissent from this disposition of the matter by the
Court.
