Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided May 23, 1983No. 82-5552PublishedCited by 55 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
SNEED, Circuit Judge:
This case involves a challenge by Joyner to a provision of the Arizona Constitution which forbids certain state officials from remaining in office if they run for an elected federal position before the final year of their state term. The case was brought by Joyner to enjoin its enforcement against him. 1 The district court granted the relief Joyner sought and held that the Arizona provision is unconstitutional because it conflicts with the Qualifications Clause of Article I, Section 2 of the United States Constitution. 539 F.Supp. 1120. The State appeals. We reverse.
