Caudell v. City of Toccoa (William C. O’Kelley, N.D. Ga. 2:01-cv-105)
A federal complaint challenged a new state law forbidding members of a city commission from serving as a member of a hospital-authority board, which affected only the plaintiff. The district judge consolidated an injunction hearing with a trial on the merits and struck down the new law as an invalid bill of attainder that was also in conflict with other constitutional and statutory requirements.
