General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Wyman v. Rothstein, 398 U.S. 275 (1970)
Wyman v. Rothstein No. 896 Argued April 27-28, 1970 Decided June 1, 1970 398 U.S. 275
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
Appellees brought this suit challenging on equal protection and statutory grounds the disparity between payments under the state welfare law made to recipients in New York City and those made to recipients in cert lin suburban counties. The District Court issued a preliminary injunction, having found the disparity violative of equal protection.
Held: In the light of the subsequently decided case of Rosado v. Wyman, 397 U.S. 397, the District Court should have the opportunity to pass on the propriety of granting interim relief on the basis of appellees’ statutory claims or, if the question is reached, continuing the present injunction in light of the Court’s decision in Dandridge v. Williams, 397 U.S. 471.
303 F.Supp. 339, vacated and remanded.
