United States Ninth Circuit

Summary judgment in favor of defendants in an action challenging California's Political Reform Act of 1974, which requires political committees to report certain information about their contributors to the State, is: 1) affirmed in part with regard to plaintiffs' facial challenges to the $100 reporting threshold and the post-election reporting requirements; and 2) dismissed in part as non-justiciable with regard to plaintiffs' as-applied challenges, because any claim to purge records of past disclosures is moot, and any claim seeking a forward-looking exemption from the disclosure requirements is not ripe.
