1Opinion of the Court
John M. Gerrard United States District Judge
At issue in this case is the constitutionality of the Nebraska Livestock Brand Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 54-170 to 54-1,127 (Reissue 2010, Cum. Supp. 2016, & Supp. 2017). The Nebraska Beef Producers Committee (Beef Producers) sued the Nebraska Brand Committee and its executive director, William Bunce (collectively, the Brand Committee), alleging that the Brand Act violates the dormant Commerce Clause and Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. The Court finds no merit to those allegations, and will dismiss the Beef Producers' complaint.
