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.
Atiyeh v. Capps, 449 U.S. 1312 (1981)
Atiyeh v. Capps No. A-625 Decided February 4, 1981 449 U.S. 1312
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
Syllabus
An application to stay the District Court’s injunction, which requires Oregon officials to eliminate "overcrowding" in a certain prison by reducing the number of prisoners housed there by specified amounts by specified dates, is granted pending either the Court of Appeals’ decision in the appeal in this case or this Court’s decision in Rhodes v. Chapman, No. 89-332, scheduled for argument this Term and involving similar issues (whichever may come first). It appears that the District Court, in determining the appropriate standards under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to be applied in considering conditions of imprisonment, misconstrued pertinent decisions of this Court. Moreover, the District Court’s order fails to comply with the specificity requirement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d).
