Hall v. Beals
Action to enjoin enforcement and operation of Colorado laws imposing residency requirements for voting in presidential election. The Three-Judge District Court, 292 F.Supp. 610, dismissed the complaint and direct appeal was taken. The Supreme Court held that plaintiffs who were precluded from voting in 1968 presidential election by Colorado statutes imposing six-month residency requirement but who could have voted in 1968 election under statute as amended subsequent to the election were no longer part of class of disenfranchised voters and could not represent class, and action to enjoin enforcement of statute would be dismissed as moot.
Judgment of District Court vacated and case remanded with directions.
Mr. Justice Brennan and Mr. Justice Marshall dissented.
Richard Hall, for appellants, pro se.
Bernard R. Baker, Colorado Springs, for appellees.
PER CURIAM.
