1Opinion of the Court
COFFRIN, District Judge.
This action, brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 1 challenges the constitutionality of Rule 4.1 2 of the Vermont Rules of Civil Procedure and its companion statute, 12 Vt.Stat.Ann. §§ 3251-52, 3 insofar as they provide for the nonpossessory prejudgment attachment of personal property. 4 Because this suit seeks to enjoin the operation of a state statute on the ground of unconstitutionality, a three-judge court was convened pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2281, 2284. 5 Issues other than the question of constitutionality remain for later resolution by a single judge.
