Harris v. Hahn

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on January 9, 1917.

Docket No.16-575
Op. Below5th Cir.

Issue

(1) Whether the Constitution's equal protection and fundamental right to travel rights will tolerate a state benefit program that creates fixed and permanent distinctions between similarly-situated residents based on their length or timing of residence in the state; and (2) whether Texas' Hazelwood Act's "fixed-point residency requirement" therefore offends the Constitution.
