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.
First Security Nat. Bank v. United States, 382 U.S. 34 (1965)
First Security National Bank & Trust Co. of Lexington v. United States No. 141 Decided October 18, 1965 382 U.S. 34
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
Syllabus
This Court held that the bank merger resulting in appellant bank’s formation violated the Sherman Act and remanded the case to the District Court "for further proceedings in conformity with the opinion of this Court." (376 U.S. 665.) After several postponements of the date set by the District Court for reporting progress "in complying with the mandate of the Supreme Court," the parties presented a proposed interlocutory decree providing for submission of a detailed divestiture plan in six months. The District Court thereupon held appellant bank and its officers in contempt for failure to comply with this Court’s mandate.
Held: Since divestiture was not ordered within any specific period, appellants did not violate this Court’s judgment.
Reversed.
