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.
Concerned Citizens v. Pine Creek Cons. Dist., 429 U.S. 651 (1977)
Concerned Citizens of Southern Ohio, Inc. v. Pine Creek Conservancy District No. 76-667 Decided February 22, 1977 429 U.S. 651
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
Syllabus
Where the District Court rejected all of appellants’ challenges to the constitutionality of an Ohio statute establishing procedures for the organization and governance of conservancy districts (political subdivisions of the State invested with the power to carry out flood prevention and control measures), on the sole ground that such challenges were foreclosed by Orr v. Allen, 248 U.S. 35, but none of the issues presented was raised or passed upon in Orr, the District Court’s judgment is reversed and the case is remanded for a full consideration of such issues.
Reversed and remanded.
