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.
Crowell v. Mader, 444 U.S. 505 (1980)
Crowell v. Mader No. 78-1780 Judgment vacated and case remanded October 1, 1979 Rehearing granted and case decided February 19, 1980 444 U.S. 505
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
Syllabus
After the State had appealed to this Court from the District Court’s judgment invalidating a legislative senatorial districting plan, the Tennessee Legislature enacted a new plan. This Court then vacated the District Court’s judgment and directed that the action be dismissed as moot.
Held: Since the recent legislation did not moot the entire case, but only the issue raised on appeal, this Court’s prior order is vacated and, in lieu thereof, the District Court’s judgment is vacated without prejudice to such further proceedings in that court as may be appropriate.
Rehearing granted; vacated.
