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.
Brown v. Chote, 411 U.S. 452 (1973)
Brown v. Chote No. 71-1583 Argued February 22, 1973 Decided May 7, 1973 411 U.S. 452
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
Syllabus
Appellee, who sought to run for Congress but asserted that he was unable to pay California’s statutory filing fee, filed a class action in District Court, challenging the constitutionality of the filing fee statutes. In the face of an impending filing deadline, the District Court granted appellee’s motion for a preliminary injunction.
Held: Given the possibility that appellee would prevail on the merits and the fact that appellee’s opportunity to be a candidate would have been foreclosed absent interim relief, the District Court did not abuse its discretion in granting a preliminary injunction. Pp. 456-457.
342 F.Supp. 1353, affirmed and remanded.
BURGER, C.J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.
