On April 22, an eleven-judge panel of Ninth Circuit judges issued an opinion in Moving Oxnard Forward v Lopez, 21-56295. By a vote of 9-2, the majority upheld the contribution limits for candidates for Oxnard, California city office. Here is the decision.

The case had been filed in 2020 and was one of the oldest election law cases pending anywhere in the nation. The U.S. District Court had upheld the limits, but then the original 3-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit had struck them down.
