No. 71-1545 Argued February 27, 1973 Decided March 28, 1973 411 U.S. 182 CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT Syllabus Respondent stockyard operator, who, after a hearing, had been found to have short-weighted livestock and underpaid consignors on the basis of the false weights, was ordered by a Judicial Officer acting for the Secretary of Agriculture to cease and desist and to keep correct records, and its registration under the Packers and Stockyards Act was suspended for 20 days. The Court of Appeals upheld all but the suspension, which it found inappropriate in view of the other sanctions, and contrary to the Secretary's practice except for "intentional and flagrant" violations.

Court: US Supreme Court
Decided on: Mar-27-1973

Jones No. 71-738 Argued December 12, 1972 Decided March 27, 1973 411 U.S. 145 CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEAL OF NEW MEXICO Syllabus The State of New Mexico may impose a nondiscriminatory gross receipts tax on a ski resort operated by petitioner Tribe on off-reservation land that the Tribe leased from the Federal Government under 5 of the Indian Reorganization Act, 25 U.S.C. 465. Though 465 exempts the land acquired from state and local taxation, neither that provision nor the federal instrumentality doctrine bars taxing income from the land. But 465 bars a use tax that the State seeks to impose on personalty that the Tribe purchased out of State and which, having been installed as a permanent improvement at the resort, became so intimately connected with the land itself as to be encompassed by the statutory exemption. ...

Arizona State Tax Commission No. 71-834 Argued December 12, 1972 Decided March 27, 1973 411 U.S. 164 APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF ARIZONA Syllabus The State of Arizona has no jurisdiction to impose a tax on the income of Navajo Indians residing on the Navajo Reservation and whose income is wholly derived from reservation sources, as is clear from the relevant treaty with the Navajos and federal statutes. Pp. 167-181. 14 Ariz.App. 452, 484 P.2d 221, reversed. MARSHALL, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court. Page 411 U. S. 165 MR. JUSTICE MARSHALL delivered the opinion of the Court.

In this instance, the problem arises ...
Camp Vs. Pitts
Court: US Supreme Court
Decided on: Mar-26-1973
Camp v. Pitts - 411 U.S. 138 (1973) U.S. Supreme Court Camp v. Pitts, 411 U.S. 138 (1973) Camp v. Pitts No. 72-864 Decided March 26, 1973 411 U.S. 138 ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT Syllabus The appropriate standard for judicial review of a decision by the Comptroller of the Currency denying a national bank charter is whether his adjudication was "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion or otherwise not in accordance with law." The District Court is to review the administrative record already in existence, supplemented if necessary by affidavits or testimony amplifying the reason for the Comptroller's decision, and is not authorized by the National Bank Act or the Administrative Procedure Act to conduct a de novo hearing in which the "substantial evidence" test is to be applied. Cf. Citizens to Preserve Overton Park v. Volpe, 401 U. S. 402 . Certiorari granted; 463 F.2d 632, vacated and remanded. P...

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO No. 72-1010. Decided March 26, 1973 Appellants' challenge to state constitutional provision, which District Court dismissed for inability to grant relief sought, held to be without merit. Affirmed. PER CURIAM. The motion of American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, Inc., for leave to file a brief, as amicus curiae, is granted. On the ground that it was beyond its authority to grant the primary relief sought, the United States District Court dismissed appellants' suit which alleged that Art. IV, 6 (B), of the Ohio Constitution denied equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The judgment is affirmed, but on the ground that appellants' constitutional...
San Antonio Indep. Sch. Dist. Vs. Rodriguez
Court: US Supreme Court
Decided on: Mar-21-1973
San Antonio Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Rodriguez - 411 U.S. 1 (1973) U.S. Supreme Court San Antonio Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 1 (1973) San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez No. 71-1332 Argued October 12, 1972 Decided March 21, 1973 411 U.S. 1 APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS Syllabus The financing of public elementary and secondary schools in Texas is a product of state and local participation. Almost half of the revenues are derived from a largely state-funded program designed to provide a basic minimum educational offering in every school. Each district supplements state aid through an ad valorem tax on property within its jurisdiction. Appellees brought this class action on behalf of school children said to be members of poor families who reside in school districts having a low property tax base, making the claim that the Texas system's reliance on local property taxation favors the more affluent and...
Rosario Vs. Rockefeller
Court: US Supreme Court
Decided on: Mar-21-1973
Rosario v. Rockefeller - 410 U.S. 752 (1973) U.S. Supreme Court Rosario v. Rockefeller, 410 U.S. 752 (1973) Rosario v. Rockefeller No. 71-1371 Argued December 13, 1972 Decided March 21, 1973 410 U.S. 752 CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT Syllabus Petitioners challenge the constitutionality of New York Election Law 186, which requires a voter to enroll in the party of his choice at least 30 days before the general election in order to vote in the next party primary. Though eligible to enroll before the previous general election, petitioners failed to do so, and were therefore ineligible to vote in the 1972 primary. The Court of Appeals, reversing the District Court, upheld the New York scheme, which it found to be a permissible deterrent against the practice of primary election "raiding" by opposing party members. Held: New York's delayed-enrollment scheme did not violate petitioners' constitutional rights. Pp. 410 U. S. 756 -762. ...

Only landowners are qualified to elect the district's board of directors, votes being apportioned according to the assessed valuation of the lands. A three-judge District Court, against challenge by appellants, held that the limitation of the franchise to landowners comported with equal protection requirements. Held: 1. Restricting the voters to landowners who may or may not be residents does not violate the principle enunciated in such cases as Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U. S. 533 , and Kramer ...
