Inc. v. City of Northlake O'Hare Truck Service
The Case In The Lower Courts
Gratzianna sued in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, for infringement of his First Amendment rights of political association. The district court dismissed the claim, because of the Seventh Circuit's position on protection for contractors. The Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirmed, saying that if Elrod were to be extended, it would have to be done by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court then granted certiorari,, citing the circuit split.
