This is an appeal from an order dismissing appellant's complaint in which he sought declaratory and injunctive relief in an effort to challenge the adequacy of an offer of immunity under 18 U.S.C.A. § 6001 et seq. Appellant is a former serviceman and the immunity in question was extended to him in order to compel his testimony in the Army court-martial of Captain Ernest Medina arising out of the My Lai incident in the Republic of South Vietnam.
