Nelson v. Likins

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit
Jan 10, 1975
510 F.2d 414 (8th Cir. 1975)

Opinion

No. 74-1900.

Submitted January 10, 1975.

Decided January 10, 1975.

Thomas L. Fable, Deputy Atty. Gen., Dept. of Public Welfare, St. Paul, Minn., for appellant.

Luther A. Granquist, Legal Aid of Minneapolis, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn., for appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota.

Before GIBSON, Chief Judge, and HEANEY and ROSS, Circuit Judges.


Upon a careful consideration of the record, the briefs and oral arguments, the Court has concluded that the order of the District Court is based upon a correct interpretation of the law as applied to the pleadings and that an opinion would have no precedential value. For these reasons the order granting plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction is hereby affirmed on the basis of Judge Lord's well reasoned opinion, 389 F. Supp. 1234. See Rule 14 of the Rules of this Court.

This Court recognizes that the action of the appellant in this case was an effort to correct inequities in the administration of the A.F.D.C. program. But in view of the plain language of 42 U.S.C. § 602(a)(24) this should be the subject of congressional rather than administrative corrective action.
