Citation: 68 F.3d 456Docket: 94-3477
Court: Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit; September 19, 1995; Federal Appellate Court
The case involves an appeal by the Metropolitan Pittsburgh Crusade for Voters and several individuals against the City of Pittsburgh and multiple city officials, including the Mayor. The plaintiffs, representing a citizens' committee, sought what they termed "Full and Fair Empowerment," presumably concerning issues related to voting rights and electoral representation within the city. The appeal followed a remand from a previous decision. The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reviewed the matter and ultimately affirmed the lower court's decision, indicating that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate a sufficient legal basis for their claims. The case citation is 68 F.3d 456, and the decision was issued on September 19, 1995, appealing from the Western District of Pennsylvania, case number 86-cv-00173, presided over by Judge Ziegler.
