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.
New York v. Uplinger, 467 U.S. 246 (1984)
New York v. Uplinger No. 82-1724 Argued January 18, 1984 Decided May 30, 1984 467 U.S. 246
CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
Respondents, charged with violating a New York statute prohibiting loitering
in a public place for the purpose of engaging, or soliciting another person to engage, in deviate sexual intercourse or other sexual behavior of a deviate nature,
challenged its constitutionality, and the New York Court of Appeals sustained their claim. This Court granted certiorari.
Held: Where (1) the precise federal constitutional grounds relied upon by the Court of Appeals is uncertain; (2) whatever the constitutional basis of the lower court’s decision, it was premised on its earlier decision in another case, so that a meaningful evaluation of the decision below would entail consideration of the question decided in the other case; and (3) petitioner does not challenge the decision in the other case, the instant case provides an inappropriate vehicle for resolving the constitutional issues raised. Accordingly, the writ of certiorari is dismissed as improvidently granted.
Certiorari dismissed. Reported below: 58 N.Y.2d 936, 447 N.E.2d 62.
