On April 8, the California State Court of Appeals in Sacramento refused to hear the lawsuit Fuller v Bowen, C064622. This is the case over whether the California Constitutional provision requiring candidates for the legislature to have lived in the district for a full year before the election violates the U.S. Constitution. The Superior Court had ruled that that part of the State Constitution does violate the U.S. Constitution.

Heidi Fuller, who brought the case, is appealing to the State Supreme Court.
