John L. Sullivan, Tax Commissioner of the State of Connecticut v. United States
Citation: 393 U.S. 1012Docket: 610
Court: Supreme Court of the United States; January 19, 1969; Federal Supreme Court; Federal Appellate Court
The case involves John L. Sullivan, Tax Commissioner of Connecticut, as the appellant against the United States and several states participating as amici curiae. The Supreme Court of the United States addressed the matter on January 13, 1969. Various attorneys general from multiple states, including Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Wyoming, submitted briefs supporting the appellant's position. The Court acknowledged the case's probable jurisdiction and scheduled it for the summary calendar, indicating that it would be reviewed without extensive oral argument or detailed briefing. This procedural step suggests that the Court found the case significant enough to warrant its attention while also implying that the matter may be straightforward or primarily focused on legal principles rather than complex factual disputes.
