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.
Parker v. County of Los Angeles, 338 U.S. 327 (1949)
Parker v. County of Los Angeles Argued November 8, 1949 Decided December 5, 1949 338 U.S. 327
CERTIORARI TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
Syllabus
A state court dismissed actions by civil service employees for relief against enforcement of a "loyalty" program by a county, without considering whether disclosure of information sought by a prescribed affidavit would have penal consequences, and its decision left in doubt whether it had passed on the validity under the Fourteenth Amendment of sanctions (if there were any) for failure to execute the affidavit. By a subsequent order, not involved in the judgments now before this Court, the county explicitly adopted sanctions for failure to execute affidavits, and the validity of this latter order was attacked for the first time in litigation still pending in the state courts. Since this latter litigation may be decided in favor of the employees on grounds of state law, held: the constitutional questions raised in these cases are not ripe for adjudication, and the writs of certiorari heretofore granted are dismissed. Pp. 328-333.
88 Cal.App.2d 481, 199 P.2d 429, certiorari dismissed.
