UNITED STATES
COURT OF APPEALS
TENTH CIRCUIT
OPINION ON REMAND
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Utah
(D.C. No. 97-CV-535-S)
Larry S. Jenkins (Mary Anne Q. Wood, with him on the briefs), Wood Crapo
LLC, Salt Lake City, Utah, for the Plaintiffs - Appellants.
Brent O. Hatch, Johnson & Hatch, P.C., Salt Lake City, Utah, for the
Defendants - Appellees.
Before LUCERO and PORFILIO, Circuit Judges,and COOK(*), District Judge.
LUCERO, Circuit Judge.
In United States v. Morrison, 120 S. Ct. 1740, 1759 (2000), the Supreme
Court invalidated the Civil Rights Remedies for Gender-Motivated Violence Act,
42 U.S.C. § 13981, the civil liability provision of the Violence Against Women
Act of 1994. The Court subsequently granted certiorari and vacated and
remanded this case for further consideration in light of Morrison. Following
Morrison, we must affirm the district court's dismissal of the instant action based
on the Supreme Court's invalidation of the underlying statute. The judgment of
the district court is therefore AFFIRMED.
The mandate shall issue forthwith.
