Summary
Question: Can the Court reconsider this case under the same Fourteenth Amendment criteria as the previous case, Elkins v. Moreno ? Conclusion: No. In a per curiam opinion, the Court held that the University of Maryland’s resolution effectively changed the constitutional basis for consideration. In the previous case, the issue was linked to whether the nonimmigrant aliens could be domiciled in the state. In view of the new resolution, the domicile issue is no longer paramount. The Court held that there were new issues that must be considered by a district court before the case makes its way to the Supreme Court docket.
