Text of Supreme Court Opinion Finding Ninth Circuit Had No Jurisdiction to Hear Appeal from District Court's Decision That California Prop. 8 Is Unconstitutional (PDF)
Supreme Court of the United States Link to more items from this source
[Official Guidance]
June 26, 2013

5-4 decision; opinion written by Justice Roberts; dissenting are Justices Alito, Kennedy, Sotomayor and Thomas. Excerpt: "We have never before upheld the standing of a private party to defend the constitutionality of a state statute when state officials have chosen not to. We decline to do so for the first time here. Because petitioners have not satisfied their burden to demonstrate standing to appeal the judgment of the District Court, the Ninth Circuit was without jurisdiction to consider the appeal. The judgment of the Ninth Circuit is vacated, and the case is remanded with instructions to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. " [Hollingsworth v. Perry, No. 12-144 (U.S. June 26, 2013)]  MORE >>
