Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided January 5, 1979No. 78-1468PublishedCited by 37 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
WISDOM, Circuit Judge.
This appeal primarily turns on the question whether certain municipal ordinances are invalid because they are preempted by or in conflict with the Wholesome Meat Act of 1967, 21 U.S.C. § 601 et seq. We hold that the ordinances are not invalid under that Act. Nor do the ordinances contravene the commerce clause of the United States Constitution.
Chicago-Midwest Meat Association (the association) appeals the denial of its motion for a preliminary injunction and the dismissal of its complaint. We affirm.
